Not sure when these episodes were filmed, but Tom H., from the Dream Car show, passed away about 10 years ago. What struck me was how quick Peter was to toss out original parts and replace with aftermarket pieces. I always thought a higher end, concours level restoration would put a lot more effort into preserving the original parts the car was born with - or at least searching for NOS replacement parts?
Makes me wonder how many restored "show quality" cars have had major body parts cut out and pieces welded back in, ie: how much of the car is original. Does this mean that cars that have never been taken apart are at a premium?
