You do a wonderful impersonation of an encyclopedia salesman. Lol!

I can compute what goes on in the racing prototype World but the streeter's have different o-pinions sometimes...that's why I'm asking the gallery. Sometimes you get o-pinions from every and any bodies on some subjects. I can take the heat but where is every-body when your asking for their O-PINIONS?
If I paint it, all I will hear is "why did you paint it"! If I leave it alone....you know the drill.......it would be a better sale if you cleaned up that old looking engine!
Thanks for feedback, friends,
KJ

. . . and how much is not?
Some people have the skills + resources + drive to completely build their cars from the ground up --- literally . . . and more power to them. Lord knows --- some cars needed it
But then . . . who's cars are those now?
Put it another way . . . are they still something that Porsche built?
Speaking from the Hard Rocky Korps . . .
If it's dirty? --- clean it
If it's broken? --- fix it
If it's missing? --- find it
Restore only what's ruined
Everything else is just everything else
Pretty is nice --- just remember . . . pretty never lasts
Oh, yeah --- and can I drive it?

K...I won't paint my '67. Had it at the Parade Concours last year and I can't believe how may people came up and told me to just leave it the way it is. Way more people than I would have ever guessed. So I say, keep it as is...It's Bitchin' (SoCal talk). :p

Classic. Very funny indeed.
Oh no Frank...now you got me thinkin' about that! All those PCA a guys were just laughing at me. :eek:
K. "L" cars are pretty rare. All it takes is someone to do a story in a magazine about them and "Bam." Things are crazy out there.

Yes it looks interesting with all that surface rust on the 67 911, but by leaving the rust-- it will only get worse with more rust showing up! At some point wont you have to paint it? Chris
Hi Chris, I never get it wet and it lives in a garage, not close to the ocean, so I hope it will outlast me. :) I guess I'll paint it at some point, but no plans now.

John,
The silver lining is that our cars are still more valuable than most PCA member's cars. Not promoting a pissing match- just stating a fact.
