here is a pic the 129 mowing and the hood. Fortunately the painter did not touch the hood/console or the tranny cover. the only bad stuff on the hood is right on the back edge. just to be honest, I strive to be a backyard/shake can painter. I sandblast and do a good job on the little parts, but I fear I would butcher the hood, so keeping the patina is somewhat of a excuse. I really paint to keep it from rusting after removing 40 years of grease. I do think it would be cool to have a "sleeper" resto where it looks decent mowing and you open the hood or crawl under it and it's mint
