This is the real reason most people do not try and duplicate a factory vehicle. While some think that a wet sanded paint job is the cats meow, many others feel that the patina of a new, factory type restoration is tops. How many people in this hobby wouldn't want to go back in time and bring back a showroom vehicle to present day? I seriously doubt that ANYONE would rip it apart or repaint it to get rid of the "crappy" appearance that these cars exemplified when new. Does anybody else remember the new smell or feel of a late sixties or early seventies vehicle? (My parents NEW 1971 Buick Le Sabre when I was ten years old!)

What a pleasant, reminiscing thought!
