Nothing a wash and wax could't take care of.
I've done the same with the same response from the kids. I was quite impressed by the insight shown by them through the questions they asked. Not just the usual "How fast does it go?" but many ?'s with thought behind them. I left feeling there was hope for the future when these young kids take over.

I have "Coffee" usually every morning with a 92yr young man. Old mechanic,love hearing his stories and help on my 29 truck. We just sit there talking about anything he wants......... wouldn't trade it for anything. Learned a lot about my Model A from him. Lost my mom and dad years ago.
