I'm sure there are flaws. The question is whether there's a fatal flaw.

The one thing that would be necessary is to get the car outside in natural light. Warehouse lighting sucks.

Yup. Get it in the sun! Look at throttle linkage clearance vs headers and look for spacers in the engine mounts. Also, look at clearance of header coming out of passenger side (bottom). Gee, how do I know this???

As far as I know, you want to inspect paint work under fluorescent light, not in the sun. Any top paint shop uses fluorescent. Natural sun can sometimes show flaws, but it more often washes them out and makes them difficult to see.

Lippy, just for clarity, it's obviously going to be in a warehouse with some sort of overhead lighting, which will be used for an initial inspection. But I'd also want to see it in the sunlight as well, if possible. Sort of depends on the warehouse, the indoor lights and the ceiling height. The experts will probably use all sorts of different lighting (e.g., fluorescent, xenon, LED, etc.), but they'll have a portable unit too, like a flashlight for example.
