It doesn't really matter how much they strayed from original on the build. Restored means to restore it to original or as close as is practicable. The fact is, that it wouldn't come all that close to max points at a judging. It has too many custom additions. I won't say that's a bad thing but it is a factual statement.

To each there own I guess. I just wonder why he's trying to sell it after spending so much on the build. Most Folks know that they will likely recoup only a fraction of the investment. They might as well use the thing a while longer. You never know what folks get out of the hobby. Everything is different for each individual. Some just like the hunt and the build. After that they lose interest. Others enjoy the fruits of their labors and drive the things all over the place to meets and such.

If I was going to spend that kind of cash, it wouldn't be on a model A but that's just me.
