Wholly agree. First thing I look for in a side shot is the slight curve of =
the bottom rockers; when we restored my BN2 I ordered from Kilmartin becaus=

a resto away is the wire bead inside the rear wing edges; unfortunately, w=
hen I replaced the doglegs on my BJ8 I got aftermarket panels that didn't h=
ave the bead. I bought them later but haven't felt compelled enough to redo=
them (plus, I haven't figured out how the meld the existing bead with the =
replacement bead).
It's a common fallacy of owners of restored cars that their car is 'worth' =
what they've put into it, both in dollars and hours. The car is worth what =
the market will offer, period. I also feel a resto of a Healey is more diff=
icult than the shiny 'restomods' you see on B-J and other auctions. Healeys=
are a semi-monocoque (unibody) build; muscle cars are usually body-on-fra=
me, which is a simpler build (also, parts are more available, from Summit a=
nd others).
