So I sometime wonder what "Over Restored" means????

To me, "Over Restored" simply means an attention to detail that would never have been done on a mass produced car. A level of perfection that was unobtainable on the assembly line, to the point of being incorrect and deserving of a point deduction on the Concourse. I understand that followers of this level of automotive perfection consider their creations to be what "Henry would have liked to build", and may consider the resulting point deduction as recognition of that effort. Just my humble opinion.
