Thanks Charley, Yes 'most' of the paint is original,lh fender has been sprayed at one time, It's nice to dream about a 71 hemi but the reality is we would want it as it rolled off the factory line, And as with most of the original paint cars we have or have had the paint is a 'OK' , I think the paint on the red 69 judge is nicer but this color hides flaws a little better. But.. They are only original ONCE!! Preservation of this remaining originality is what we take pride in!! Even if you can't compete in a local podunk car show cause people don't understand your belief. We enjoy sharing with people that understand.. Thanks again Here is a quick picture of a paint inspection stamp on underside of decklid. Very cool
