Whats the theory on the gutter trim and taillights, was it a bit of a factory dress up option, or just been added over the years

It was dressed by the last owner. All the original pieces are in a box that I need to have picked up in Adelaide, tail lights, headlight surrounds, dash, etc.

I am going to undress her

I don't recall getting asked that question on here

I do get asked that question a lot in the guitar store though ...
"Where do you get all these great guitars from?" My answer to that question is this....

1. I pay more than anyone else for the best original instruments.

2. Lucky for me I desire the best, plus have the eye and taste for the rare and factory original pieces. (As that is what has increased in value the most over the years.)

3. Plus I researched and research.

4. I studied people and myself for ten years to help with communication and negotiation.

5. Obsession helps

It makes you stay focus on achieving goals. Plus helps continue the search. I haven't worked in years !!! (it just doesn't feel like work when you love what you do).

6. Also, If you love what you do and do it well, money comes

7. The great original guitars need to go to someone who will continue to preserve and treasure them in their original condition. These Owners usually want a choice to where their loved item ends up (if possible). I help to provide that comfort.

Some of these thoughts have transfered over to my car passion and collection.

Steve
