Thanks Darryl, I do enjoy the car the way it is and could preserve the patina with a satin/egg shell clear at some point(good idea). The drivers side is "the good side" the passanger side rear door had some body work done I'm guessing 20-30 yrs ago that's starting to crack off (still adds character and shows some solid steel underneath).They say Winnipeg has the most murals painted on buildings in Canada and lots are pretty cool, if I get the time to get the '52 in front of them I will get some other good pics.
