again I disagree. If you buy a car and then.

1. have your painter paint it,
2. have your mechanic change the oil and do a 100 point inspection.
3. have your lot tech drop it off at Firestone for new tires.
4. have your lot tech drop it off at the car wash for a detailing.
5. hang a "State Trooper" hat on the headrest.

you are in no way doing a restoration on a car. To assume so is an insult to individuals that actually do restore their cars, doing as much of the work as they can themselves. What is even worse is when you buy a car that someone has worked their butt off on, then accept credit for the work as your own.

You are free to be as impressed and awed with anything or anyone you choose but I predict that like the growing list of other people, eventually you will begin to recognise the BS and see the smoke and mirror game for what it is.

If you buy and sell 1000 corvettes it doesn't make you an expert source regarding their history. That makes you a corvette car dealer. It is what it is.
