Hello Jason. It's true that I was inspired by what you achieved with your car. The paintwork on mine is quite a bit worse than it looks in the pics. I hunted around for someone to do a reasonably-priced tidy up and drew a blank. All the experts said it would cost more than the car is worth. So Plan B was to try your approach, which has produced quite reasonable results. I drove the Clipper about 200 miles early this morning with no problems. It attracts quite a bit of attention (so long as you don't stand too close)! Keep up the good work. Cars like yours have often ended up being scrapped or cannibalised for parts, which is a great shame and a real loss. Of course, it helps that the patina on some of the original cars is increasingly appreciated. Cheers Brian
