The quality of this resoration is great. The shop Wings Auto Art, has done an outstanding job on this one. It appears as though they started with a good candidate with little or no rust on an original car with all the correct pieces in place. It also helps when the client is in the manufacturing business of making a lot of parts that make for a quality restoration. Its always a brave move to restore a car in a less desireable color. I wonder why they opted to change interior colors!!!!

One thing I will criticise is the over use of engine compartment garafetti. just because they have seen one car with an "X" on the valve cover does not mean thaqt every 455 got that same marking. The one thing we know about the 70's assembly line was the inconsistancies. I also agree with the comments on the chassis black, looks too selective for what I have seen on parts on other original cars.
