I have no idea how often the owners of this type of car scrub down their frames, but after a few weekends of this kind of treatment, I would think there would be a certain amount of weathering, especially without a windshield.

John, you are either A.) Fearless and can create anything out of anything, or B.) A modern day alchemist, who rather than discovering how to turn lead into gold, has invented a machine that miniaturizes anything to any scale. If it weren't for the bodywork photos, I'd be voting for B. Even then I'm not so sure! :)
