we should always pay attention to the small details, just like when you select a present for someone you love. a gift doesn’t have to be extremely expensive to be good, it should only be carefully selected. the same goes with a car restoration: you don’t have to spend tons of dollars in unnecessary tasks that produce an astounding but temporary result (for example many people tend to use very expensive paint with 3 layers of varnish, while the chassis is not properly trimmed; as a result the paint bursts a few years later).

those 12 photos show only a tiny part of the process and the time we spent to have that result, but it’s the details that make the differnece… so, pay special attention to the details
