Biggest dilemma ever

[Arde]

The Fulvia Zagato I am recreating has racing history with its unavoidable scars on the aluminum front. I could totally make them disappear or tastefully keep some evidence of its past adventures. What would you do in restoring a CSL with some damage of racing?

 

[Stevehose]

are you keeping it in a racing livery? If so I'd keep them. If going back to stock I'd be tempted to eliminate. Tough choice.

I'm with team 'scars'. Show them.

Stories are perhaps the best things that cars create.

Paint, headlights, facade holes, mirrors, dashboard, bucket, steering wheel, interior will be racing inspired in particular by the Daytona winner:

The question is how to make the scar look like a badge of honor rather than an imperfection. I want it to be like a Marlon Brando effect:

• • Brando infamously broke his nose during a performance of "Streetcar Named Desire" while boxing backstage with a stagehand. He reportedly didn't want to fix it, and producer Irene Selznick thought it enhanced his sex appeal.

I'd keep it the way it is, those " imperfections " did not come easily, I bet If they are not a safety concern, leave them, scars are part of history none of us are without, that's what makes it interesting

Arde, my good friend Stefano, who works for the big A in Cupertino, has a Fulvia Zagato, which he keeps in San Mateo either at his house or at the candy store (car club
). If you need any advice, etc. He is from Italy so of course speaks Italian.

I would love to connect with him. People at big A are very paranoid by training, they do not share much information at least about work.

Photos of the facade scars? A bit like Conor McGregor's foot injury in 2023...
