I have seen a lot of restorations, what I look for in a restoration are cars that represent what was done on the assembly line. I see a lot of restorers that deviate from the factory processes for the wow factor, and a cleaner look. Each car restoration should be unique based on the what is found during the disassembly process .To me this is the most critical phase, without this information the car loses its true identity. Yes it require much time and become a tedious documetation process. Although these car were built on the assembly line they were not all built the same. There were many variables that caused this, such as; build date, supply shortages, vendor changes, assembly plants, to name a few. It seems that some restorers take the easy way out and produce generic cookie cutter restorations. As the say the devil is in the details

Well said Steve...I have seen some flashy but low scoring restorations this past year....one set of pics I saw was an 8 year old resto and the damn thing STILL sat up 6 feet in the air...maybe they used NOS Hi Jackers or something
