Hi Johann,
Although I think your Record would look great in the red I personally feel it is too good to respray. Look what you said in your first post in this thread. The restoration work you are doing is enough, she's a beauty.
There is something very nice about an old car still wearing it's original paint.
Cheers

Hi!,
You know when you get the itch! We'll see when the time arrives! My wife is also for the specific two tone. I have 6 months to think!

My children have outgrown the table and I have no grandchildren to pass it on to Very nice table as it can be raised at an angle for the drawings

Hullo Bearhawke,
Yes it is uplifting It is quite common here I named it DuRandt after my brother in law who likes to modify his tailpipes
Had to cut it as it was rather outstanding Here is a better looking angle!!

Spent this week making a fibreglass Radio face for the Opel and a Sanyo (SABS) 1960's in working order.
I have a original face that I'm not touching! Too valuable!
Question should I leave the Fibreglass unpolished?
Re-built An old brittle face to this.
