Quote: New resto to me means "new" as delivered. Rick.
That has been a big problem in the past with the way things have been translated concerning survivors. These cars may have exhibited flaws and imperfections but they were NEW flaws and imperfections. This holds true for any perishable item on a car. (Which includes just about every part.) From the day a vehicle is manufactured, it starts to oxidize and break down. I had to chuckle at a comment made by a forum member (in another thread) stating that this “stuff” is not a “science”. It most certainly is if you want to fully understand, interpret or discover the causes of why things happened after 40+ years of exposure. Restoring hundreds of pieces on a car will certainly mandate having to understand the “science“ behind the composite parts!
