They didn't have to do any of the work themselves. When I go to autorama or any car show and I see a beautifully restored car with mirrors all up underneath it to display the whole undercarriage and everything is wide open to see "nothing to hide" I know somebody or a group of people busted their azz to get it that way. I don't see how an only 20 year old car is old enough to need that. As neat as our cars are they are still in the beginning of the "(plastic gromit lego snap everything together age)" cars. Where as the early cars were almost all sheet metal and are prone to rust. My 68 stang has very little plastic on it. All sheet metal. Even the dash. So it's more labor intensive to cut rusted sheet metal out and welding new in than to just pop out plastic panels and snap new ones back in. And that might be why some of the NCRS guys are arrogant about involving a fairly new car in the company of 40 year old cars or older. Just my take.
