I realize you may be stating this tongue in cheek, but I actually agree. Those subframes were dipped, and many time stacked while awaiting shipping I believe. How can you stack them without scratching them?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but honestly, we tend to way over restore these cars. Don't get me wrong, I like looking at the &quot;perfect&quot; car, and in fact prefer it to the way many of these came from the factory. If I would have left mine as is from the factory, there would be no paint on the bottom one inch of the tail pan. Also the waves in the seam where the roof panel meets the quarter panel were way beyond what I would consider acceptable, so I releaded them to get them straight. Didn't leave the factory that way.
I like the pic on Charley's 70 Z where the assy line worker missed the hole with the screw for the bottom trim piece and just left it out. Also left a big scratch. Were a &quot;restored&quot; car judged with that defect I sure it would get dinged a few points.
