    with NOS once you pop you cant stop... otherwise it becomes a little tacky with for example nos facia, second hand door handles, chinese door trims, nos arm rests, rares steering wheel, second hand crash pad, second hand radio, nos glove box lid, painted console blah blah blah. good second hand stuff will at least look 'natural'

    restoring with NOS could probably see you build two for the price of 1. that being said. i wish my pockets were deep enough but I could never only have 1 car gene. i'd get so sick of it

    Oh I will drive mine! That's why we build cars right!


    Very true Byron! You have to be careful!!!
