What is over restored you asked

Any Model "A'' that was put in a better condition than a original car from 1928-31 .l.o.l..
My daughter, Lindsay age 23, went for a ride today. Daddy this car drives on the road

Think that was a dumb question to ask me.But then again she was never around before to go for a drive....Kids

over restored? ive seen cars with painted radiater hoses and fan belts, even the edge of the head gasket painted to match the engine coloe, none of which was done at the factory, and really there were never any 100 points cars coming from the factory, every one is just a little different in some way, but thats to be expected knowing they were built by yje thpisands by thousand of workers, and even tho they were built on an assembly line they were built indivually one at a time, just how many do you think were identical?

Well Steve Ciccalone can tell ya. He said next time he needed to shave he can use my belly pan for a mirror. [And yes he did judged it [OR], and he did make the correct call. Compared to the orginial cheap paint or should i say poor quality [just to cover the sheet metal ] the new high quality paints of today you need just to spray to get a nice finish. My firewall , rear tub,under rear fender wells all sprayed with same paint on body.Difference is body was rubbed out some to tell the difference between the firewall,tub,fenderwell..So what the new judging standards are asking is to use the new todays paint and dummy them down to look like the old cheap quality paints.Then you have a correct finish restored Model "A". or to me a old restored looking job..l.o.l. P.S. if one should need to have a good time at a National meet or any meet hookup with Steve ,a fun guy to hang out with [a straight shooter right to the point without dancing around]. You want to hear the truth , he's your friend.Tell's you like it is weather you want to hear it or not.
