Who cares about stuff like that? Good question. For me and probably 99.9% of
vintage car owners the answer is nobody, but there are people who set the goal
of their cars to be exactly like they were on the showroom floor. And, like the
Jehovah's Witnesses, as long as they don't knock on my door, I don't care what
they do. The goal is admirable, just don't pick on Murray.
My goal for Murray is for him not to look too much like a piece of sh*t and run
reliably.
James, obviously, wants a work of art, a perfect thing, and I can't wait to see
it. I like to use vintage stock as references, so I can see what it was
supposed to look like, how it's supposed to work.

I vote no. Who really cares about stuff like that?

Simulated overspray? Why? For the enjoyment of some neat freak judge at
some show? Hell no. If you are a neat freak, then get it done the way you like
it. What is the difference in simulated overspray and a garbage painter?
Intent?
I vote no.
