He always obsessed over paint meter readings. I kind of get it, but it is also possible that body shops do a good job on repairs...

Some repair shops do good repairs. Some repairs aren't major, also. I think the point was that if paint meter readings suggested factory paint, you could be reasonably confident that no work was done that you have to figure out whether it was done well or not.

Not a BAT link, but I’ve always loved the design of the Jenson Interceptor...

Agreed. Those are definitely cool cars. Pretty cool that they had an AWD car before Audi

Jenson Interceptor is one of my childhood dream cars that I've always wanted but know that I shouldn't.

Yes I’ve always dug those, too.

For the restomods, it’s weird they aren’t using a current 392 Hemi or even a Hellcat engine.

Wow that’s something else. Lovely car but (will end up) way out of my price range.
