|---|---|
| US casting only. Absolutely no HK castings!!! | |
| Rough
Casting - Entire car in many places has a rough finish to it. The
cars still have most of their original flashing as they were never
de-burred or polished. Flashing will generally be in the same areas for all cars, although the amount will vary. |
|
| White
Paint - The off white enamel paint was applied very poorly. Many
cars will have accumulated paint drop buildups. As well as lint and
specs that often appear under the paint. Nearly all have some paint chips. Be suspicious of "perfect" cars. |
