Hi, new poster here. I raced starting in the early 70s in Indianapolis and Hi-e products were quite well known. I recently picked up Cosmopolitan #11 from the original owner in pretty bad shape, but I’m hoping to resurrect it. It had been painted orange, but much of that paint is flaking away. If I were to have it repainted, I would lose/ need to replace the original stickers. Not sure whether perhaps to strip it and leave bare aluminum, etc. Before I tear into the parts, I’d like to know what is truly “unobtainium” and what stuff might still be out there. Any contact is appreciated.
