Yea, I am not sure I could stop myself from opening it. Your resto car looks pretty nice as well, don't know if you found wheels yet, but I came across these on the bay.

They look a little rough, but could be good for a runner.

Here's an idea... use a boxcutter to cut the shrink wrap carefully only at the bottom of the box in the seam where the top and bottom boxes join. This should leave the shrinkwrap with the signature intact on the box top and you get to build it. Could be a win-win for you.
