John, asothers have mentioned at this price I suppose one could put up with 
a little finishing, but it may be getting past the point where one would 
want to be fixing things that were done wrong.

 Bill, fair enough, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, whether a 
car  is right or not depends on the quality of the work done, I agree that 
you don't want a car that is royally screwed up by the DPO, but don't agree 
that the only way to avoid it is to get an unmolested original or nut and 
bolt restoration(which can be screwed up too), or that a running restoration 
will always be a marginal appearing and looking car , remember, the more you 
take apart there is certainly more opporttunity both to fix and to mess 
things up, just depends on the competency of the person doing the work.

 I repsonded to your post, but was addressing things I have read more and 
more on lists forums and classic car books that seem to pretty much say that 
the only way to go is full nut and bolt restoration, or buy a good car where 
this has already been done.
