Who cares about resale value?

Just kidd'in bud, but I have serious doubts that a 97 DP is gonna bring big bucks down the road-theres a ton of em floatin around, and most of the serious costumers scoff at them. If your gonna try for an accurate helm, fill that info in w/ some bondo. If your really concerned about resale value in the future, you better not re-paint it at all! The first thing I did w/ my 96 DP was sand & fill the info on the back, but I guess ultimately, It is up to you!
