Not this actual car, but this model or something very close. Had some
aftermarket wheels but they looked good. Otherwise looked nicely restored or
well preserved.

As it was explained to me by a CC owner at Lake Tahoe some years back, a “true”
CC needs a “soak” for a while before it can be put in the water for actual use.

From what I could see (admittedly fairly cursory lookover) it was a few
hull and deck boards, some minor stuff in the passenger area that was a
little ratty. So not really boatbuilding kind of detail but I get your
point. The mahogany would be spendy but not too hard to shape and
replace.
I need to learn a little about tinting for our gym. Its in a converted space in
what was an old bank. I don't know how old the building is, I'd guess late
1800s or early 1900s. I suspect there isn't much insulation and it's tough to
keep it cool in the summer. Shades over the windows helped but

Having woodworking skills most likely helps but I don't think that's the same

Karl,
While the ship has sailed on your W126, for anyone considering aftermarket
