"You get criticized when NOS parts are used. You get criticized if the original parts are used! You get criticized when reproduction parts are used! Could someone please explain what other options one could use that would be "blessed" by all of the "well wishers" and experts posting on this thread?"
Dave, (by the way I hope all is well) Who are you restoring the car for??? For yourself?....The people in the hobby? Or for the people that just want to sture the pot?? This might be a question that you need to answer.
I restore cars for the challenge, to push myself and my abilities. I also try to show other people "MY" interpretation of what "I" think these cars look like when they were new.
