Sorry for the delay. Here is the door tag for the car. I have a before and after picture of the door jamb, close up of the tag and underside of the door. This car is in increadable condition for the mileage, 145,000

I was told by a pro judge that over restoring cars is a classic beginner mistake. It's easy to make it look perfect, it's hard to make them look right.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Jul 17 2016, 10:27 AM)  I was told by a pro judge that over restoring cars is a classic beginner mistake. It's easy to make it look perfect, it's hard to make them look right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I've done a couple cars I refer to as " day 1's " and it is a LOT harder to reproduce the correct shadows, oversprays, final finish textures ( orange peel ) proper plating etc. I have DAYS tied up right now just in stripping, cleaning, polishing latches, bolts etc for the zinc platers to make sure they look original and not like sandblasted and replated pieces. I have redone a 73-S frunk 2x now because I wasn't happy with it the first time. Repainted the dash 2x because the gloss was off the first time. I'll be sure to tell those customers not to take their cars to a zone 8 event (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
