Here is a better shot of it. The original vinyl top was tattered and removed by a previous owner, so its getting a new one.

I was also thinking about doing the same thing with the nova I just bought. Top of fenders, complete hood and cowl area. Original paint car with the typical lacquer checking.

Hey, 'fluff' is for peanut butter sandwiches - not original paint cars!

BTW, I'll send you a PM about a winter road trip

I appreciate survivors as much as anyone, but they get lost when parked next to correctly restored cars. Every car that I have seen that has been advertised as a survivor has been fluffed, blown in or touched up. Bloomington survivor standards even allow for some fluff.

My Boss 351 was an original paint car that was well preserved with no issues except one small spot that you could see under flourescent lights. If my cars paint was worn through or it had surface rust, I would repaint the car and preserve the rest no matter if it was original paint or not.

The car being discussed is very nice no matter what is done to it.

Helmut,

Long time no talk my friend... good to see you around these parts again!
I would leave the Camaro alone. Not often do you see an original paint rs/ss Camaro!
