We are all just here to watch. Cant make everyone happy. I was just sharing I go through the same most days. Ultimately I am much happier with the car as is than having another restored car blending in with the one next to it. I had posted a thread, and will now have to find again, "when do you restore a racecar". Most said almost no matter what, a racecar should stay one. Many old race cars lose their story and just become another factory car. It helped me.
