    Restorer Picture

    Hello All,

    I just don't understand! For the last ten years Ive been trying to learn every bolt marking, every paint dob, every metal finish for every componant on my three corvettes. Now on the back of my latest Restorer magazine is a picture of a man at the factory who appears to be spray painting the whole affair gloss black the way we used to "Restore" them in the early 80's. Is Noland poking fun at us or is this some kind of special job? Also where is his respirator? He must be "high as a kite by now" (Sorry Elton!) I just don't get it!

    PS does anyone know who makes Tie rod ends that look like originals. The MOOG ones I just bought are way to narrow compared to all the original worn out ones I have around.

    Have a Great Day!
    Bill

    On BJ they said that the buyers are now looking for over restored cars. They where showing cars with underbodys with high gloss paint. Go figure

      There is another thread that explains the photo.

        Ok Thanks Dick! I briefly looked before posting and didn't find it. I'll look again. Anyway I was just trying to inject a little humor in my post.
