JAG and I have the same opinion on this subject

If I were to restore a car that was marked up... I would with out a doubt have many good pictures and drawings with notes so I could duplicate the marks... thus I would have documentation backing up the restored cars marks.

As an example, and the same is done for every marking found (in addition to notes/diagrams):

Great topic! .
I'm all for duplicating only found marks and documenting them as you go....this is the way the serious 'Vette guys have been doing it for years. .
The overdone ones remind me of old ladys who wear too much makeup.
That 'clown cars' term....too perfect! .
I love the idea of letting the youngsters do the work....sounds like a great way to get 'innocent' results also a nice family touch! .
And Rick, a little known fact is Elvis' had Jewish blood as his grandmother was a Mansell....I wonder if he's related to Nigel? .
