Nothing has the luster of just-sprayed paint. No matter how good the paint is and no matter how much you wax it, nothing beats 10 hour old paint.

Hmm, no 67 Camaro came with a 454. So it ain't a REAL restoration, I guess

Yup. You sure don't want to have a car you care about be your first. Even if all you have to do is sand, you've got to be very smooth with it or it'll be wavey when you paint it. If you don't sand right, your sand scratches will show, etc. But that's the easy part compared to doing good body work, and EVERY car needs at least a little body work when you prep it. It takes a substantial amount of practice & skill to be real good. I've seen guys that have made careers out of it that still couldn't quite get it right. It's an art to some degree.

Your right a "restification" I guess then?

I'm not into #'s matching, Biased tires, Vinyl topped, spiral shocked, air pumped, trailer queens.... We've done the professional "show" scene before (1000 points jugded classes) with other cars, it's just not our bag anymore... besides it does have a 327 sticker on the air cleaner
