1970 Stage 1? Claims a 4 year restoration has made it correct in every way...

Someone needs educating, to put it nicely.

 

Well, they got the fender emblems straight but the positioning? Is it me or is the pass side Stage 1 emblem lower & farther back than the the driver's side? Not even sure the driver's side is positioned correctly?

No chrome valve covers? Vinly top seam wrong

Wtf happened to the grille, let alone the trim?

Where's the fan shroud. Chrome trim on the shifter, & A/C compressor? Are they extra $?

'72 Hood Trim. Driver's side window fuzzie fitment? "Chrome" headlamp bezels?

But the worst has to be the side view mirror. At least buy a repro!

I didn't even scrutinize the pics very closely and I'm not usually one to pick apart someone else's hard work on a resto (i.e. I certainly try not to be a pot stirrer), but "C'mon man," lol.

 

Dano ,
Your toooooooooo picky !!!!!!!!!!! LOL
What a mess .

Yea, I guess so Bill. I didn't even scrutinize the pics let alone see it in person but if one is going to tout their 4 year resto... If (BIG if) the paint & body work were done well & the price is right, most is pretty easily fixed although hood molding, emblems, & mirror might require paintwork.

 

Show me the Sloan!!!

 

Low expectations from a company called webe autos .

 

It looks to me like it’s still a work in progress.

Company should be called…..

Resto gone Wrong!

 

Call them what??????????

 

If spending 4 years means by definition that it is perfect, wait until you see mine -- it's been 10!

 

Gotta be a beast!

Look at all that lead they had to but on the right front, to keep it from jumping over coke bottles...

 

Dude, you need to learn to trust people.

 

Something about that car screams "bondo buggy" to me for some reason....

 

Did anybody notice that the car changes from photo to photo.

Examples:

Wheel center caps change from 71-72 to 70.
Shifter is present in some photos, missing in other photos.
Buick Motor Division (350 engine) emblems in some photos, Stage 1 emblems in other photos.

 

Especially in combination with what looks to be headlight doors that are painted silver, warped grille and the missing stainless trim...

Somebody needs hung by their black tie.

 

Car features the original '72 455"!

How about the disclaimer at the end- oh man, this is good!
