[BMWCSRegistry] Undercarriage Paint & Grill Badges

Gary, to deal with what you have described and illustrated takes 
admirable cojones - or what ever the word is in Hawaiian. Big 
coconuts?

Did you say you bought one as a "beach" car?  Yeeks, we have a beach 
here on Lake Erie but we are not surrounded by water that is 3.5% 
salt.   We only get it on our roads in Winter (sort of like what the 
top of that volcano sometimes gets for those that want to ski in the 
AM and surf in the PM).

Yes, the 507 is a beautiful car but may have reached the permanent 
museum only stage, in my opinion.
Far too risky to drive except by celebrities, a number of corporate 
CEO's and over paid athletes who can always discard and replace it 
when it gets a small dent.

Did you ask for body parts to be sent? Probably cost a lot more than 
to ship a whole Coupe in fair but not crumbling condition and take it 
from there. The frame is sound, you say? I wouldn''t bet my 1952 
Ferguson farm tractor on it.

To quote the venerable Carl Nelson:  take off the salvage pieces and 
crush it.  If all fluids are removed, it is said to make an excellent 
place for corals and other marine organisms to colonize - those not 
pilfered by dealers and tourists.
Unless you have lots of cash, time, cash, tools, cash, skill and 
patience, then carry on and keep us posted.  And did I say lots of 
cash?

P.S. How come HI has an Interstate? Is there a secret tunnel to Guam? 
No .... that won't work,. Guam is just one of them territories we 
like to keep around but, like DC and PR, just Americans that are not 
allowed to vote on anything that might affect the USA.
