If it was done then the person is a master at his craft.

the deal is, i was there back then, not just saw the car. and yes, the guy who worked for him was and in my opinion would still be unmatched in his abilities. this guy could match paint that was faded and this was way before any computers were doing it. he would spend the hours in trial and error to get it just right.
as for where did he get all the parts, i didnt ask, but back then parts were readily available compared to today and it was surprising what was still available from the dealer if you had the correct part #'s.
