[TR] Hypothetical

[Greg Lemon]

Although many who have gone through frustrating restorations may feel 
differently, I am going to assume that it would not be realistic to say 
"everything" so I am going to say high quality critical mechanical parts. 
Here is why, if a fender or floor panel doesn't fit I can massage and work 
it to remedy the situation, if a bearing or camshaft or waterpump is out of 
spec or made of poor quality materials, and I don't have quality 
alternatives I can't fix that, I am stuck using the inferior part.
