I saw a show on Corvette restoration fanaticism. This guy had "perfected"
how to spray black paint on to the hood (bonnet) arms and latches so that
they would crinkle and peel off just like they did when new from the
factory! He even "mastered" the technique of NOT polishing the paint under
the bumpers since the bumpers were already on at the factory before
polishing. So they never got polished.
My Alpine (SV) has something written in chalk in the trunk behind the
spare. I think it says "OK". (It's been a while since I looked). I am
going to practice with my kids' sidewalk chalk to see if I can duplicate
it. At the next Alpine get together, I'll gladly write it on anyone's
trunk for a beer. Just think how good the 5th (hic*) one will be! (The
mark really is there).
