What to do with this exterior

[danette smith]

You know, when I do this strip & polish thingy, I want it to be a labour of love and hard work and not a rush job. Thank you so much for your quick response by the way but I think I'll just wait.

The thing is my '74 Int'l was offered a job (as it is(was) with no polish) as a $prop$ in a photo shoot (less than 2 weeks away); we hired a tow truck to move it from our campsite to the front of the campground (for pickup by "professional trailer movers" to the shoot). During the towtruck move (we have before & after photos) it was scratched. My boss (many years a lawyer and now a producer) says sue 'em but its not that simple and the polish job has to be done eventually (its not dents) anyway soooo...

The photographer will just have to airbrush the photos if the scratches show up or we give up the gig. Either is preferable to me doing a rush job and having an uneven surface; I read in one of your forums that the "half finished" look is not pretty.
Thanks again...I'll be back....
