First....What is "Over Restored?".....I've seen old movies (with V8's) and original factory photo's with exceptionally shinny paint jobs with exceptional reflections......So who determines or what standard is there for "Over restoration?"
Second.....As a 32 owner (son).....yes there are running factory changes and notifications (research materials avail) and "ONE" can "GENERALLY" get their car close to "RIGHT" by the frame number...BUT....In the end no one can specifically say with 100% certainty that it's right or wrong!!!!!
Third.....restorations and car clubs are like golf courses.....there is ALWAYS a group who is unhappy!!!!!! There is ALWAYS a group who is happy!!!!! and there is ALWAYS a group who for the most part is ambivalent!!!!! By and large I feel the club does a good job of keeping the major standards of the years in focus and being somewhat flexible in the areas that MAYNOT matter as much. That's my opinion!
