So, when you rebuilt your car you used 100% new parts?

No

Why is that such a bad thing?

No one should be painting over metal which has craters in it without doing SOMETHING to smooth out the craters. Take a look at the left side of the rear valance. The paint looks like like it was shot over the surface of the moon... Look up from there, and you'll see that they left a dent in the body just above the bumper.

Look at the left fender, the body line is as wavy as the ocean...

They have 3 weeks on the made-for-tv assignments and frankly I wonder how many here could take a wreck like they usually have and make a good driver out of it.

The car I turned into a race car had been gutted from a fire. It was my first attempt at restoring a car and I did a hell of a lot better job ALONE than that crew of "professionals" did with an entire boneyard of parts at their disposal.

They are doing EXACTLY what most of us on this forum did with our first (or maybe second or third) car, unless your first car was a rotisserie, complete restore.

It was. If you're going to do it, might as well do it right. I started without a rotisserie then built one myself to make the job go easier.


But how many of us on this forum are?

Looking at the caliber of most of the cars here, I would say most are.
