Everything is an "award winning restoration"

As regards the yellow car in Hemmings, here is a short list:

Firewall should be black
Chassis lubricator doesn't appear to be doing anything
Lots of wrong fasteners
Wheels should be two tone
Pedal pads on upside down
Transmission should be silver
Oil fill should be painted
Is the original firewall plate anywhere to be found?
General rule is if the fenders aren't black the chassis should be painted fender color.

On the plus side the fuel system looks intact and the acorns on the block are correct.
