If all goes well this weekend, I'll be bringing home a new (to me) Spridget - square body 1966. The owner has apparently given up on the idea of ever finishing this project. The owner says that the

Paul, I understand the hood strips an unobtanium...so hang onto it! I'd shop the paint job. Even the Earl Shieb and Macco jobs can be decent with enough prep. If you can't do this yourself, then payi

Just my opinion David, but I'd try it. They say prepping is 90% of the battle. If you get a crappy spay...then you've only gambled what $199.95?...a light sanding of the runs and orange peel if you g
