I totally agree.

What's interesting to me is they spend a good deal of that half a mil+ price on making newer donor cars look older, where as the PT/restomodders make older cars look more modern.

Oh I know.

When I watched this vid 4 years ago with Chris Harris going over minute details with the head guy in the Singer shop, I was floored when he said at the 17 min mark that the wiring harness was $30K.
