Default Re: Nice 67 Corvette "properly" restored

Back in the middle 1980's while working at a Corvette restoration shop I had the privilege of meeting David Burroughs and observing first hand some of his restoration work. I remember at the time how "different" his views were from the "make the paint shiny and perfect" crowd.

I'm sure there are those that disagree with David's approach but I agree with Rick in that - for me at least - there are so many cookie cutter type restorations that his truly stand out. I happen to like the overspray, factory flaw type restorations and am drawn to those type of cars at the shows because they are so different and interesting.

Sorry for the hijack.........

Jake
