Thats a nice car Rick! I would even wipe down the inner fenders,subframe, motor compartment, firewall etc. with WD40 or Boeshield and a rag.

Also I like to use the old KIT or Rally wax. They seem to bring up the old lacquer paint better than the newer base coat clear coat wax. A soft tooth brush and a "little" compund may remove some of those off color rust areas on the paint. Keep it original, its a nizzze car!

Didn't know they made Kit wax anymore,haven't herd that name for a longtime.

I have to agree with Steve Shauger. Just a whole lot of common sense in what he is saying. Frank

Thanks for the advice Sam. That pic was taken before I had it all buttoned up. I do try to keep it well lubed with WD40. The second law of thermodynamics never takes a day off on the gulf coast. There's rust in the air, along with salt and lots of water.

Kit or Rally wax you say. I'll be looking for some of that tomorrow.

Thanks again

When I brought my 67 home, my brother-in-law didn't even want me to detail under the hood. He said "that's thirty year old dirt... you can't touch it!"

He's kinda right... my favorite shot of the car is the one showing how the car was found, under years of dust.



We all appreciate something different about these old survivors, so the less you touch the better.

I bought my KIT wax at an automotive store and my RALLY wax on line. Nice car Helmut!!!
