I agree 100%. There is a thread on Copcar.com about the article, and I actually commented on it last night. Save for the radar, which may or may not be correct, every single other piece of equipment in the car is incorrect. Here is how that one started out over there:

Anyone see the article this month? What is with all the Galls equipment in that car?

And late style spotlight handle?

Come, on!
Don't get me wrong....I'm all about participation in the hobby in all forms and all of that. However, to me, it's actually almost disrespectful to display something "restored" in that manner. The best example I can think of on the other side of that equation (recently) is Mike P's restos of the MO and NC cars. Taking the time to get things right.

There are also a few inaccuracies in the article itself, but I enjoyed it for the most part; except for the part about "still scaring other drivers". Yeah, that's really what we need out there.
