So after reading this and the other thread about the technique to restore this car, what's the right way to restore our beloved Mopars?

The way the workers built them, or by the blueprints? Whats everyone's thoughts on this point?



Thanks for your input Ken. There are many ways that people can choose to restore/refurbish a car. I personally do not believe anyone has the right to say it is “wrong” if the person who owns the car is happy with the desired outcome. On a personal note, it was our objective to restore THIS car with the exact attributes and characteristics that IT was assembled with. We even counted and matched the drips that were documented underneath the car! In essence, the car was its own reference for the restoration. We have hundreds of pictures that documented before and after photos showing how precise we were in matching the cars original traits. If someone does not have an original car to start with and their objective is to have a factory type restoration, their other options are to follow the factory engineered drawings or other original cars. While one car may not be exactly “correct” for another car, it can still provide factory original characteristics to follow. As stated earlier, a person has the right to do to their vehicle whatever they choose so trying to pinpoint what is “right or wrong” really comes down to personal preference. Unless someone is attempting an OE factory type restoration, the sky is the limit as to how a car can appear or what it can represent!
