It is a headache at times.
If you're trying to make it "as it was sold", one problem is the tiny details. You could take a simple question like "
what kind of intake manifold gasket goes on a first-gen" and run into 3 guys giving 3 different answers.
There are also weird issues like the color of the underbody. It is nearly impossible to get a straight answer to this but it seems that all restored cars that compete at the highest level in the Camaro Nationals get a 30% gloss black underbody. The only problem is that they were definitely not like that originally.
Another problem is that since original parts cost big $, there is a lot of fraud.
I could go on and on, but I think it would get very boring quickly.
