[Zmagnette] Preservation

[John Park]

Steve for the first 12 years I owned my car I used lots of Lexol on the
leather and Rust Check to slow or stop the rust. I drove it everywhere.
After the restoration, I treat the car with kid gloves but I still drive it
everywhere. No trailer queen for me. Age gracefully and enjoy without
abusing it. I've done that with all my restored cars. Some even hit the race
track.

Charlie,

Have any pictures?  Any special techniques to "arrest decay" without
restoration?  One downside to a preservation class is you get to park next
to other cars in preservation class, so you don't get the side by side
before and after.  At least that's what I have seen, I don't know how
Euro-Fest does it.
