Flagrant fake parts. Charlie White a consummate plagiarist/copier of vintage diagrams and documents and gets pissed off when called a concour weenie (CW). Get it?
I made money on the projects. 25 years ago. Never again. Nasty old men followed by nasty old rich *****es.
Some are nice but they stay silent.

There is a portion of car guys I just can't stand to be around. There is nothing magic about these cars. They are just bits of steel, aluminum and plastic and they don't care what you do to them.
I was watching one of Jay Leno's vids at the Laguna Seca vintage (replica?) races in 2013 and I was just shaking my head at the Bugatti guy.

at 8:20 he's talking about the body panels of his car and how he wanted to preserve them. They are magesium and I can understand his problem and the value of his car but as he was talking I was thinking I would just store the car in a dry garage away from the ocean and wipe the body panels with an oily rag once a month. His solution, after 3 years of research, was to plate them with nickel.
