Well said David.
When I started getting serious with my restorations, I was told that to bring a car to 90% cost X amount of time and money.
To bring it that additional 10% - to a FULL 100% correctly restored car, cost twice as much (2X).
That has, as you surely realize, been a fairly accurate formula.
That is probably a major reason there are so few TRUE #1 cars. That, and the fact that the research required can be not just a "big part of the whole" but rather, a HUGE part of the whole.
