I laughed when they hired a guy to help find parts. Then they bought reproduction stuff!

I kind of wondered about that myself...the usage of repro parts? I hate using that stuff on my own car and I did not pay 325K for it either or anywhere close. Further, I would think or assume some of those original parts and panels would have unique pre-production variances in their details. Seems these details are what would make the cars a &quot;study&quot; and that was all lost in using the repro stuff. Plus, did anyone think of documenting the differences or uniqueness with only 60 days to do resto? Why let A** Monkeys, Hot Rodders, do resto work?

The new owners are going to take a bath when they are ready to part with them. Its a shame they dont have a clue about what quality work looks like.

Anybody know the guy that was hired to oversee the project? He sounded as if he belonged to a restoration shop.
