"know" how to restore a car to it's original condition  ie flaws."

You can see the type of over restoration that the attention to the detail
of the original manufacturing methods can lead to on "Dream Car Garage" with
Peter Klutt of Legendary Motorcar. The show records how they "restore" every
detail and miscue including such things as bad spot welds and correct
overspray sequencing. It's amazing that they go to such extraordinary
and obviously expensive lengths to recreate factory flaws.
