[Spridgets] When does it become restored?

[Jim Johnson]

Geez, Bill!  Now you've gone and done it!  You've opened Pandora's box!  We
went through this routine on my antique motorcycle list 2 years ago and it
took MONTHS and thousands of emails to realize there are as many definitions
of "restored" as there are people doing "restorations"....  I'm stayin'
outta this one!!

Cheers!!
Jim
