I don't think I would go hog wild trying to restore it. There is some value in having it in kind of an untouched state. With that said, I do really like the dog dish hub caps and the Polyglas tires that you've put back on it. Have you had somebody attempt to buff it to bring more life to the paint? It might be nice to have the hood paint more closely match the rest of it but you'd have to know a pretty talented painter to get it to match the rest of the patina. It would not seem to make sense from an investment standpoint to pour a lot of money into the car. If you did a show-worthy restoration it would have to be because you felt a personal calling to do so. That's how I see it.
