Re: McLaren got wrecked on Sat... a few q's....

Here's the thing: The car was ORIGINALLY black. It is #135 in 1988.
The sons of the original owner had it painted maroon/red for their
dad...that was just dumb...I don't get it. So now if I get enough $
from the other guys ins. comp, I'm thinking about repainting it the
original Sikkens color... The hard tonneau wasn't directly hit,
however the top was down at the time, and I couldn't open it
afterwards because that passenger pillar had been hit in. If I
recall, the tonneau was bent slightly. After I dropped it off at the
shop, the guy aligned it enough so that he could put the top back up,
So I don't think it was that severe.
I'll keep yoiu guys updated, and thanks for the info...
