My point is that some of the flippers hardly do anything on the underside,
for example. One crew on "Texas Car Wars" freed a seized Packard engine
with a big, long bar and called it "good." Installed new upholstery, tars,
etc., sprayed some shiny paint on it and sold it for big money.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] resto?
Yes, I realize that it's not technically restoration but the process is
basically the same- rust repair, paint, mechanical, interior. All this is
done to a very high standard within a week. Quite impressive!
He is a bit heavy on the bondo use though. Restorers like Paul Russel and
Co., for example, won't have any of that! They metal finish all the way.
That can't be done in a week.

but then again he has thirty people working on the car'..
What Foose does is not restoration which is making something as factory
new. He takes moribund automotive corpses and converts them into something
else. Much like Coddington.
