I asked today, we are restoring the car


Lol I buffed some of the fender today, it's so shiny and smooth.. Forgot my camera, will get a pic tomorrow. It looks amazing, I almost want to do the whole car for the hell of it.

I have learned that no... no you can't buff dents out...

But the dents are so damn shiny it doesn't even matter.

Okay, at least you have something that would be worth something when you finished it. True you may be upside down in the project, but it would be a fun learning car for a bodyman or a Mustang guy. As for me, well, I’m an Eldorado guy…. But this is an ebay listing that I think is well beyond when you say “no” and it falls in the realm of when can you stop laughing long enough to say no.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cadil...=p4506.c0.m245

I love this quote from the listing: "WE DO NOT DISCLOSE RESERVE. AS WITH ANY USED VEHICLE THERE MAY BE BLEMISHES OR NEED A PAINT JOB. SHE IS NOT EXEMPT OF THIS."
