Absolutely every low mileage original car that I have ever examined has  had
some damage to the inner fender, battery tray, and underside of hood  from
venting of gases from the old tar-top batteries. Two cars come to  mind:
Larry Phillips' fantastic, ulta low mileage 1962 300 Sport, and Pete  Fitch's
cinammon "G" coupe after a fresh restoration. Both cars  experienced
significant paint damage to the engine compartment, due to  these old-style
batteries. 



Thanks for giving the warning, John.  I was about to do the same,  having had 
the engine compartment paint decimated by my battery due to a faulty  voltage 
regulator,  If you want your original type batteries for show,  carry them in 
the trunk, and replace the modern one when you get to the  show.  Its  alot 
safer (and cheaper too, if you can avoid paint  damage).
