A close family member died who was very special to many, as a idea and tribute a metalic car model of the general lee is planned to be set out for him. It was special to him from my understanding, and surviving family members are wondering what can be done to perserve it as long and best as possible. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. It is in Maryland and will be exposed to elements related to that area snow etc. Mainly that the apperance isn't completly destroyed within a year as it would be in current condition. Main ideas so far is to have it clear coated by a body shop, or enclosed in a plastic bubble of some sort as well(not even sure how that would be done).
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated
