You notice it needs a new backing plate, so you exchange the old one with a better one.

Or you see that the chassis is just covered with old hard grease in many areas, so you decide to remove the body and really clean it up thus leaving much of the original paint as possible.

Then you notice that there are a few bearings that need replaced...and so on and so on........

I guess maybe you can see where I am going with this.

SO...at what point do you consider if this car is being restored or just being fixed up thus not being restored?

Where does one draw the line?

Thanks.

Steve,

It looks like you have had a few years to ponder your own question. Where do you stand?
