    Catalog of Little Things

    Been trolling the Olde Threades for while, now . . . + finding-out about all kinds o' kooky stuff

    Regardless of spec/condition/social acceptability --- I'm fascinated by un-restored cars. I know-I know --- everybody likes clean/shiny/special . . . and many have gone/will go to any/all lengths to restore/re-create/re-achieve perfection . . .

    . . . but sometimes, by making things perfect --- some things get lost

    Little Things

    People who've worked-on/restored these cars for a while may 've seen some Little Things --- but, well . . .


    . . . I haven't, so . . .


    . . . here's a thread

    Great idea for a thread, Rick. Here I share some from 304598:

    From the '66 engine lid - not original to the car:

    From the grill slats during renovation:

    From the passenger door (which I assume is a replacement):

    From the back of the aluminium backing for the wood trim on the dash:

    Whoa --- great stuff, Steve


    This is what I LOVE about Our Registry

    I mean . . . how many cars would someone have to see? --- how many threades would they have to read? --- and how much time would it take? . . . .


    . . . to see all this stuff?
