Ed, thanks for the reply. I would go that route, but because it is in at least 15 pieces and has multiple folds, yet all there with big chunks for the options etc I went ahead and had the pro i use give it the "gold" treatment. While this is going to cost over $250 on a car that only currently is worth in the low 20's I love the cars to much to quibble over the return on my investment in this process.
So here is what the restoration expert is doing.
"Humidify, flatten, and mount on Japanese tissue in correct registration. De acidify."
I am confident that it will come out better than i could have ever done.
Thanks again for the tip, and if i ever have one that is just a few flat pieces, that will be the route I take.
Regards,
JOHN
