Quote: I can understand wanting to restore the car, but would you guys weld, bondo and paint the Bonnie & Clyde car? If it's restored, it's just another 57 Plymouth, not that there is anything wrong with a beautifully restored 57. It's just that it will lose the time capsule uniqueness.
The Bonnie & Clyde car won't deteriorate in air because of bullet holes- my worry is that this thing will completely disintegrate now if nothing is done.
If its all dried out and cleaned up, just how will it deteriorate? Everyone seems to think this but cant give me a straight answer
Metal deteriorates in oxygen, whether it's wet or not. Then there's humidity. They aren't going to be able to just dry out the inside of the frame, and other such areas either. Whatever is sitting in there will continue to rot.
There's a German submarine at the Chicago museum of Science & Industry that's rotting away on the inside just from humidity.
