Re: [T3] 69 Notch on ebay


I hate that word and how it's used now. Restored 55 Chev, Big block,
auto tranny, lowered billet wheels.

Restored means, Made like it came from the factory, or at least from the
dealer. Nothing else, but as close as it can be!
Restro, Restro-custom, Restro-Rod or whatever the name but not
"restored"

I am sorry, but I helped my late father-in-law Restore a Model A ford
and a couple mo mid 40' - mid 50's cars and trucks, and It takes a lot
of research, work and effert to do a good job. My hat is off to any one
who has or is doing a true restoration.
Most of us have simi-restored or restro-custom's
We's make's them, like we's like's them.

Sorry for the vent
