I agree! My Tuxedo Black 1962 'scayne is in about the same original condition and I'm leaving the outside appearance alone. It's just gonna be a fun car for burnin' some rubber and rippin' up the dragstrip! Just good, clean, cheap(kinda) fun. I think WE ALL KNOW how these projects can snowball into beautiful, but time-consuming and extremely expensive restorations! 'Ya lay some nice paint on it and then the interior is not up to par, etc, etc, etc!

I agree! Put a set of blackwalls on and then drive it as-is.
