There are different levels of restoration, 100% period correct full, partial, and freshen up. You don't have to break the bank on a bike thats totally wrong. There is no law on how a bike has to be restored. People have opinions that vary greatly, and none of them are necessarily 100% right. Someone else might now like it, but there is always someone who thinks they are better, and fast to cut down your work, who cares. The best feeling is being happy with what you have built yourself, whether it be a 10,000.00 job or 20.00 spray can job. Walmart bikes are all alike, using the logic here if you buy one from there it's 100% correct even though their level is different than bike shop level.
