I think this scenario has terrified a good number of us. When the time comes to strip off the paint, what you thought was underneath is not there. On very rare occasions the seller is passing on a condition they knew nothing about, but the vast majority of times they know exactly what they are doing. I think people that do this should be criminally prosecuted! It puts a big black mark on the entire collector car hobby. Like everybody has said, keep your chin up. The "perfect" car for you is still out there.
