Wow...I remember when I worked at the Olds dealer in Anaheim...there was a guy who came in for service who was the original owner of a gold 70 442 that "claimed" that he used kerosene on his car every time he washed it...I thought he was just kidding me...but his car looked wonderful

Kesosene is a petroleum distillate and removes oxidized paint.

Great post ... I strongly believe that some of the nicest people you would ever care to come across are in our hobby. I believe we live in a great time (next to the original muscle car era.) The big three are beginning to roll out "new" takes on old hot rodding ideas and the restorations of the originals are getting better and better as we acquire more and more information. With that said however, there are still a few out there that refuse to be satisfied with enjoying the hobby as they are positioned in it and continually try to scam others. This is where honesty comes in. The internet has provided us with a wealth of information, a perverbial library at our finger tips, but some information in the hands of the wrong people can lead to some pretty ingenious scams. As noted in the previous posts, it's an old hand played in a new way, honesty has always and will always prevail because at the heart of our hobby you will find the best group of people that exist!
