An over restored car is beautiful and I wish that I had the talent, but I don't, so no problem for me.
I wish that I was able to paint like this ! This is amazing !

Over restored cars have the bottom side as shiny as the top side.

Here's a great photo of what the undercarriages of these cars looked like when new. This is a '37 Zephyr going down the assembly line -- notice how scratched up the rear axle is.
