Default Re: General Auction Rant

Before I restored my 69 L-78 Camaro, I looked at as many photos of original unrestored cars as I could and duplicated those marks, nothing more. Also, the existing inspection marks on the suspension were cleaned and left as original. Many cars I have seen are over the top restored with most things being too perfect. If you look at an original unrestored car, it is amazing how sloppy some of the quality and workmanship was. You don't usually see this in a restored car.
