Those comments weren't aimed at you in any way........just making general conversation. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Yeah, I think that is bare metal. There is no clear coating that I know of that will stick, keep it from rusting, and not yellow. We've talked about how nice it would be to keep my Son's RPU in bare metal, but even sitting in the shop it rusts in like a day or two. I think the guys who do that use WD40 and a scotchbrite pad.

I wasn’t offended at all…I don’t get offended easily. While I am not a noob to old cars I am a noob to this forum and this era of car.

That's good because sometimes typed sentences don't come across as they were intended.
