The new paint looks sweet!

I'm into the original look. I think I'm pretty lucky about the condition mine is in.

Everything seems to be original on mine except some decals and the door glass has been replaced on 2 of the panes with plexi that had a mill mark of 1984 in the corner.

It looks good but with a fresh coat of paint it would look like this.

Don't believe him!  Takes a lot more than just paint to turn out a jewel like this.
