y'know... I don't get the whole "taking sides" bit of this "issue." People love cars; some express that by driving the shit out of them, others express that treating them with extreme care.

Yeah, I don't get it either. It isn't hard to drive the piss out of a car while keeping it looking great. Obviously it won't be a museum piece, but a car doesn't have to look like crap either.

Well I do have cars with nice paint, nothing wrong with a refresh. You have to address rust and decay for the good of a vehicle. But I don't like perfectly detailed cars that seem to be a part of some sort of compulsion. Patina and feel are really the best part of old cars, I think its a real shame when a car that was just fine and serviceable is polished to, "perfection"...

Well, for some people, perfection is the name of the game. It's their version of car enthusiasm.

In the the end, to each their own, this isn't even an argument smh

PLENTY of cars are over-restored. In many cases the factory was just making cars, not museum pieces.

One example are bellhousings on Chevy cars during the muscle (orange) era.

If it's got a bellhousing that's completely painted that is considered a mark of being over restored. GM just spray bombed the engine. The bellhousing is supposed to only have overspray, not complete paint.
