Ah, but you're looking at it with a restorer's eye. Post production parts generally fit - and can be part of the car's "persona."

Just as the parts that are there now are likely not all original.

Originality has a cost - and one that the fine pointers are willing to pay simply because of the challenge.

My own truck will NEVER be a fine pointer - but that doesn't mean I can't drive it past the admiring eyes of the Dump Nazi, who would give up his swastika up to own it.

"Hey, park it over there with the rest of the junk" he says.
