I know what you mean. I will clear-bra the front hood and a couple other vulnerable spots and then just enjoy it like it was a new car. It is bound to get chips and nicks along the way. But I will earn each one as I enjoy the drive.

After watching this for a while, I have to ask: "Is the goal to have a car that will be better than it was when it left the factory? Do you plan to drive this?" I'm not casting shade at your work; that's absolutely phenomenal. But, what's the final aspiration?
