Kevin,

If you use the V8 Club's judging forms at local meets, there's a standard deduction of 2 points for the incorrect stems and 3 points for the incorrect caps, which usually accompany the incorrect stems. It is an expensive hobby and understandably trade offs often have to be made.

A misaligned drain hole is only a rust threat if a car is left outdoors for a very long period of time, which is unlikely the case for cars in hobbyists' hands, especially in Australia where rain is evidently something of a stranger. Notwithstanding, the thread was likely informative for many. How long it should be kept alive is subject to personal opinion as to its "best by" date. There are certainly far worse examples on the fordbarn.com forum.
