It looks like a lot of the parts on the front of the car were replaced. I wonder what else was damaged.

Here's the Marti Report

Looks like a very high-quality restoration. Again, I would want to see it in person for front end damage. Hood locks and the running horses are a simple fix. Just because it is not perfect, it has the paperwork as Arlie presented. My guess is this car would be a great car for someone in our hobby.

Well, they tried. I don't quite understand the overspray pattern on the underside. If the pinch weld is white why is there black overspray??
There are a lot of other little oddities.

IIRC light colored cars had the pinch weld seam painted black, but I think it was done with a brush- not sprayed on.
The Marti shows Power Steering option, but it looks like the P/S has been removed.

That's the kicker. The pinch weld on this car is white (even though it should be black) so I'm not sure what the restorer was trying to represent with the overspray.

I didn't realize the black paint was applied by hand. Does that mean it should have horizontal brush marks?

They called it "slop" if I remember correctly. It consisted of left over paint and pretty much slopped on, so I doubt that there is any right or wrong way to do it.
