Nice 67 Corvette "properly" restored

[SS427]

I have never met David Burroughs or seen this 67 Vette in person but I must say I certainly respect the man for restoring it this way and I would love to see it in person. There are too many 'cookie cutter' restorations out there and I think it is a novel idea to restore one exactly how the factory would have done one complete with factory defects albeit there are many. I may be alone but I think this car will stand alone in the quality of the restoration. It might make it difficult for the judges as they are used to docking points for scratches, nicks and paint drips but hats off to David for his efforts. The amount of research alone that he must have had to do is staggering.

Back in the middle 1980's while working at a Corvette restoration shop I had the privilege of meeting David Burroughs and observing first hand some of his restoration work. I remember at the time how "different" his views were from the "make the paint shiny and perfect" crowd.

I'm sure there are those that disagree with David's approach but I agree with Rick in that - for me at least - there are so many cookie cutter type restorations that his truly stand out. I happen to like the overspray, factory flaw type restorations and am drawn to those type of cars at the shows because they are so different and interesting.

Sorry for the hijack.........
