Is this car really Top Flight or am I being overly critical of the restoration? Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful car, but there seem to be some items (chassis specificallly) that are painted incorrectly?

Thanks!

 

Well, the resto is what? 18 years old? I think it said it was done F/O in 1990...? It looks pretty good for something done that long ago.

 

The Top Flight was 7 years ago, a lot can change in that time.

 

Top Flight doesn't mean that the car is necessarily perfect in every detail. A NOM car with a blank engine stamp pad can Top Flight.............

 

Remember a car can have 270 points deducted and still be a 'Top Flight' car.

And if you drive 800 miles to the meet you get 45 X 8=360 plus the 270 for a total of 630. Most original cars that will make 800 miles will get a Top Flight with all those points to lose.

That is why you need to know more about a Top Flight and check the car out in person. It is common to have judging tires,batteries,air filters,ect. that are removed after judging and are alot of points.

 

hmmm doesn't the master cylinder have bleeders in 68?

 

Hmmm....yes. Replacement and 74 and newer....no.
