Default Shark tank , but 100K?

Just saw another "former bucket" restored and on the 'bay.
Note the vin and cowl tag, this car was rusty. I wonder if they would include the resto pics?
Anyway, for this kinda money, I would INSIST on a FIREWALL PAD, wouldn't you?
And that "Dronemaster" exhaust, on a "collector car"?? Yeah I have run that exhaust, it sucks and drones bad at 2500-3000 rpm.

WHO starts the black Firewall paint UNDER the floor at the bottom of the torque box?

For that kind of coin, the vacuum pod under the dash needs to be a lot nicer, along with the incorrect parking brake pedal pad and missing firewall insulation.

I meet the owner at Barrett Jackson some time ago. Too arrogant for me..

Lets look at an original '73 Underside just pressure washed. Then, this "resto" below
Note where the Black starts and how pitted the torque box fingers are in second pic. Wonder if the black paint is "cover up"
