Bill, I must agree, the spark plug wires are routed the wrong way, no vacum
hose on the carb, license plate frame is the wrong color, no cover on the 45amp
fuse, but a very nice looking car that somebody has spent alot of time on. I
know of a sedan that $23,000 was spent restoring it, I will try and get some
pictures of it.

Re: Digest Number 543
Hi Mike;
Please, don't get me wrong, I too have put a number of cars together using
different parts to keep them running. But I don't misrepresent it as a
correct restoration. We have to preserve the correct way of restoring each
of these cars. Coupe wheels on a Sedan and 1200 Honda Civic hubcaps, with a
78 civic review mirror and side quarter vent covers painted rather than
rechormed. Are wrong for this vehicle, if it is displayed as a correct and
true restoration. It gives new members of the growing number restoring
their Honda 600's a poor example to follow. This is why a true restoration
takes much longer than a vehicle put together with the wrong parts. And, I
am talking about keeping parts on cars with a specific chassis number having
these parts on the car. Yes, right down to the correct master cylinder for
the car it's on.
