Rocket Restorations....My Experience

Trailbeast, I'm sure people appreciate the enthusiasm, but please don't reference my build to fling pooh at them. This is not the intent of the post.

Autoxcuda, you are correct, I did not pay for a show-quality car, nor did I expect to receive a show-quality paint job. We (shop and I) were clear on that. Not sure I completely understand your point though. What I was stating was my belief (right, wrong or indifferent) is that the lines on the car, at least within the same body panel for example, should be straight. I would believe this to hold true for a $10K paint job, or a $50K job. Afterall, the lines are already there..right?

I'm not sure I agree about an understanding of the quality. The framerail work, the trim installation, etc. isn't a matter of understanding, is it? What could I have said to get a better understanding..? "Hey, in case you are thinking about notching my frame, please don't".

Glass lid and hood.

Yes, the car is originally a 67.

And I'm pretty sure that is a stock deck lid trim piece. Perhaps someone else can chime that knows for sure.
