    I love the yellowing of the clear coat, the paint looks incredible. Well done!

    By the way, I have a guitar that's almost the same color, might be why I like it so much It was my first guitar!

    I'm sorry to hijack this thread, but I know you're all tuned into the Vintage
    scene and need info. on tires. I was wondering what vintage (make) of
    tires do you use in your respective series? Are you happy with their performance,
    durability and cost? I'm considering the move towards vintage vee's since I'm
    tired of my current vee tire expenses, and wondered if there's a lower cost
    alternative etc??

    i am happy with the Dunlop Vintage tire. i replace them once a season (May -Oct) for about $1000/set. i'm sure that is a fraction of your tire budget for a modern car.
