Dan,
As always, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Having restored a couple of early Mustangs to MCA gold standards using correct assembly line and date coded parts, I know the headaches / misery / depleted cash that comes with that. That is why I'm enjoying this car so much - I can get the details close, but I don't have to lose sleep over them.
Regarding your sidebar, I'm always collecting photos of what I consider "minimally restored" cars and details. After reading your posts and exchanging emails, I know how most of these cars do not have many original parts left. My goal is to avoid some of the glaring things I see wrong on "100% correct" restorations. Even with the small amount that I have learned, it can be surprising how wrong some highly touted restored cars are.
Now, humbly, I'm off to swap sides on my valve covers.
