I'll add this, the crappy battery hold down and the Honda type battery terminal connectors :eek2:

myk

What armrest? 

In all honesty the car looks good in the ad.  The only way to be sure about the car is to go see it...

what the other guys say  :yesnod: :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:   also , what jumps right out at me , is the door latches /locks / strikers have been painted over !! cutting  corners there , wonder what else has not been done properly  :Twocents: :scratchchin:
also for that kind of dough , would have thought it should have had original type upper door pads &  not recovered ones  :shruggy:  although that's not so much of a biggie to put right ,  main thing to me is the painted door hardware , still even that's easy to put right , but ....


nother thing , i'm not up on computers & digital camera pictures ,  recently i'm seeing a lot of pictures that  look false , enhanced in someway  , not sure if i'm using the correct words ,   don't look real , looks sort of cartoonish  :scratchchin:

I agree,  looks like they put some filter over the pics.

It's called High Dynamic Range [HDR] photography.  I've jumped on the bandwagon and have been playing with it recently.
Most image editing software and a heap of apps can do it.

Good catch TT :2thumbs:

I guess certain different things catches certian different folks. For me it's battery terminal connectors and wheel well trim. Not having wheel trim is not a deal breaker for me it's just a pet peeve of mine as some folks don't put them on due to out shape wheel wells from body filler.

But it seizes to amaze me how lazy on a project people can get on a level of this type of resto. Another point is how lazy one can get when it comes to painting a car when it comes to prep like masking off items. The simplest things that could be removed and yet they mask over them instead. Kinda like painting an interior wall of a house and you see paint on the wall socket plate. WTF 1 screw and it's off (2 for a switch panel plate).

How many 1973 B Body cars you see with the top fender turn signal chrome housing with overspray? One simple phillips head screw and it's off. And then of course you have to unplug the pigtail. Oh wait that might too much to friggin' ask.

Okay I'm done venting :smilielol:
