Not that I'm doing a concourse resto, but I am sorta anal about keeping the appearance of things original and do have a great appreciation for originality.

In an era of cars where it wasn't uncommon to rip out the drive train when these cars where just a few years old, there is just something about seeing pictures of the same model cars where even the vacuum lines are still clipped in the same place 50 years later. Its really quite amazing when you think about it.

My Endura and Hideaways will get started on this spring .... place will look like that scene from "Seven" where all the air fresheners are hanging in the room with the dead guy.
