Check out the closeups of the driverside quarter. Does anyone else think this looks pretty wavy for a car of this "scale"?

It depends. If the entire car was repainted as part of the 'complete restoration', then I'd say they should have taken more care with the block sanding. If it's the original paint, I'd let it slide.

I didnt see any "waves" but I dont think I would spend $200 large for it either. It is a nice car though.

In the words on Jay & Silent Bob, "I think I just filled the cup." Yeah that was done by shelby and the gang there. Hell you can have shelby make you one, but it's not cheep. Cheeper than that I would imagine.

I wouldnt consider it hacked up - its done by Unique Performance, the company that is building these with the cooperation of Shelby. These are actually added to the Shelby Registry as the real deal. Only 70-something are built as a "Super Snake", which includes an all aluminum, supercharged big-block.

They take every car down to a bare frame before they start. It would just worry me as a potential buyer that if the paint was not 100%, what else might be off-par? It might just be the picture though, but it looks like poor paint.
