Tore down my 383...

I think everyone who has been in the car hobby for decades, regardless of marque, has run into substandard work. It's part of the game. That having been said, I can sympathize with the OP, sometimes you just can't say "what were they thinking?" enough times. The good news is that everything that has been in the OP's photos is fixable. So you fix it and move on.
