Has anyone bothered to sand any of the old paint off this thing, it sure would clear up a lot of speculation about it.





From the text;

"Part 5
The Car Speaks for Itself
As a key part of the discovery process, Dino Powell got permission from the current owner to sand down the paint on the car. Old paint doesn't lie. Coat by coat, like turning the pages of a book, each layer of paint confirmed an era of the cars history. The 2nd to the bottom layer was a very unusual paint scheme, a bright gold and brown reflecting the colors of Reid Whisnant, the car's 2nd owner. The next layer clearly revealed the car's original owners... and the colors were... red, white, and blue... the insignia of Ronnie Sox & Buddy Martin. It was simple."

No pics of the sanded down paint are shown.

Any racer I know of would NEVER have that many layers
of paint on a real race car... each time I paint I
sand it back down.... paint is weight
