I read a lot of the Forum stuff linked. An interesting story for sure and one helluva historical car to own. I also wouldn't want one, wait, front tire burnouts at car shows would be cool....
The experts were pretty funny, especially the one dude that wouldn't let up, even when car proved true, he had to go on and on about the poor wording and post by owner that led him down the path of bad mouthing owner and car.... ("It was his fault I was an ass" to paraphrase)
I find the experts here very helpful and out to share knowledge, but I could see something like that snowballing here also, maybe. I don't want the poster to recognize themselves so I will disguise the words, but recently here a poster went on and on about the correct stuff on an ebay car (I do find those threads great myself), fine points of this and that, all great info I'm sure. Then after his list of 30 incorrect things some so obscure I was amazed.... one of his last ones was how part X should have been painted. Well, if you know what zinc plating should be on a tiny fastner, shouldn't you know that a part as big as a breadbox should be painted or not???
