Thanks, I am always concerned about the details, just like you are Just to tell a short story, my cousin who also is into old car restoration looked at one of the cars I had just finished some time ago and said " it looks brand new, what do you do to make it look like that?" I looked at him and told him it is really easy. You just tear the car you are restoring totally apart, then when the frame looks like brand new you can start to reassembly the car, but you have to make sure that every single part you put on it from there looks brand new and then when you are finished the car looks new. He replied, of course you are right, but how do you make all the old parts look brand new? I said, that's the hard and expensive part of it
Oh well, talking about looking brand new, today I picked up 90 lbs bolts and nuts power seat parts, ash trays and all kind of hardware that has been at the plater to be restored and to get back that fresh new look. As usual they did a fantastic job and now it will be fun to put things back together.
