Re: [FWDLK] Miss Belvedere News

..Yeah, well it was the sisters' in-laws and out-laws (a nephew, in
particular) who convinced them (probably didn't take much effort) to try
to make a quick buck by allowing Ultra None to strip off the
accumulated 'stuff' from the car.

The mind-boggling question (besides WHY someone would try to do that,
given the car's obviously rotten condition is:) WHAT did anyone expect
to find, underneath all that corrosion, and what could they do with the
remains, once it was uncovered?

Neil,

You and I and 25% or so of the population grasps these mechanical concepts. That leaves a heap big pile of headscratchers wondering "How DID he do that ?"

Ever wonder why more people do not restore old cars and just buy cheaper and cheaper crap for higher and higher prices ? They are clueless beyond where to put the gas. I am sure you have met oodles of people that see a car like yours and cannot begin to fathom how it got to look the way it does. "Simply magic", you old wizard, you ! The same people that see your car and are amazed to see such an old and what should be rusty, junky (in their minds) beater looking so new and beautiful, are the same ones who think that same wizardry can be applied to anything and a dazzling sparkle will soon follow. They have no concept of total metallic disintegration, the kind of damage long term submersion can do, electrical, etc.. There Miss Belvedere sits, looking like it just needs a wipe down and a polish and she's good to go ! It can't be any worse than your car or mine, right ? Just wave that magic wand and everything will com! e up sp arkly !
