I got to see episode 1 and 2 tonight at a friends house. Best not to let the made for Hollywood factor bother us too much. Great to see the cars looking good again.
I'm thinking as far as correctness - they were just doing them close enough to get them back in 1 piece and a completed form. NOT counting the red -oxide underbellies , which was a major big foul. They aren't concours - but they are restored.
Some quick things - BOTH cars were built with Wire Hubcaps and Whitewall Radial Tires They used 68 Hubcaps , Rally 2's with wrong color lugs and centers , and RWL tires that didn't come out on Pontiacs until 1970. The tire / wheel packages really rocked the boat to me.
Hardtop was built with a Hood Tach. and Wood Wheel that i didn't see. Don't remember if i saw wheel opening moldings on Hardtop either. Both had Rear Antenna - would have to watch again - but don't remember seeing any antennas
A little more research, parts sourcing, and massaging - they'll be ready for the big time.
