Re: General Auction Rant
"So.......if I have a car that is marked to the gills..I am not supposed to duplicate this for fear of being raked over the coals???.....On my old ,not so rare ole' Z,I am at this moment stripping all the factory markings off............ ....BILL"
If I were to restore a car that was marked up... I would with out a doubt have many good pictures and drawings with notes so I could duplicate the marks... thus I would have documentation backing up the restored cars marks.

Re: General Auction Rant
Great topic! .
I'm all for duplicating only found marks and documenting them as you go....this is the way the serious 'Vette guys have been doing it for years. . The overdone ones remind me of old ladys who wear too much makeup. That 'clown cars' term....too perfect! . I love the idea of letting the youngsters do the work....sounds like a great way to get 'innocent' results also a nice family touch! . And Rick, a little known fact is Elvis' had Jewish blood as his grandmother was a Mansell....I wonder if he's related to Nigel? . ~ Pete

Re: General Auction Rant
If you want to follow along with my resto saga here is some of it: I preserved the existing marks on the suspension that were salvageable and had the kids do the paint marks on the rear differential:
