Charley;
Point taken, no offense intended to any party, just improper tone on my initial post. My apologies to Kevin Hand.

It would be interesting to see how the Diamond judges would judge two cars under your scenario. Do they make allowances for GM's poor paint and fit on an original car, but would not allow the same on a restored car? I don't know the answer, but somehow we allow GM's overspray on floor boards and firewalls on a restored car as 'correct', but paint runs in the trunk spatter as 'sloppy restoration' - even though it's just as correct. It makes for interesting conversation at car shows, basically the extent to which cars can be over-restored - yet still 'correct'. I guess that's why we can each restore our cars to the degree that best suits us, and that which makes us happiest [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
