Re: keeping the patina

I'm doing the same with my '26. Full mechanical rebuild but leaving the exterior looking the way it is. Just not sure what I should apply to the body on this one.

Re: Any suggestions on transporting a T long distance?

I'm just glad it's not getting hacked into a rat rod. That was the sellers only concern that I would not cut it up. He had higher offers but would not sell because they said it would be cut up.
