    Adrien I was joking. I'd never let anyone climb on any of my cars. Besides scratching the paint on the hood and everywhere they step, it's possible to dent the roof.
    Altho I did stand and walk on my 1939 Ford coupe while it was in my garage. It was winter and I was installing new flouressant lights. Didn't want to drive or push it out in the cold and snow. I used heavy quilts on the fenders, hood, and top. I could still feel the metal give.
    Good luck on the repair work.

    That's the way they did downtown parking lots in the 50's and into the 60's. Heck, when my wife and I were working in downtown LA in the mid 70's we parked at a smaller version of one of those.

    There still are some lots like that in LA, but not too many. The ground they sit on is too valuable. I have no idea what corner that lot is sitting on, but I'll guaranty you it's got a big building sitting on it right now......
