Some of mine have been painted (by me) but not restored otherwise. I represent them as such. My paint jobs don't look too bad--probably as good as the factory out on, but not like the restorers do now. I try to do the correct decals and such, but I don't worry to much about the "correct" bolts and things like that. There are plenty of things that the correct police would have an issue with.
