Default Decisions

I agree with all the responses and believe there is not one correct decsion. If you saw the car everyone would probable hesitate to repaint. Being a collector, the originality was ALWAYS most importnant to me. I don't know what the future holds for these cars.

I am hopefully going to receive the pictures of Winterpark livery soon. Lets hope the stripes are not hot pink and electic blue.

What I am going to do is remove the stripes of the "brochure" car and see how the paint looks. While I like the concept of the car currently, I believe it should be in exact livery when in service. I certainly DO NOT like the black moldings as they were painted. They will be going back to white.

Regarding the money invested, I am over what the car is worth. I know this and NEVER do this. I don't want to sound like an a*s, but this is also a passion and hobby, and I am not concerned with being a few grand up side down in this car as I don't plan on selling it.

I have owned over 40 cars and have done much research. These cars will go up substantially in value over the next ten years as cumulative production numbers are very low and most have been wrecked or turned into race cars.

Let's see if these decals have done any damage upon removal. WE, can pool the jury again.

Thanks for the input guys. Keep in coming.

Best
