I've never seen it done that way, but this guy is really good!

A few years ago, Ertl was producing Muscle cars in a series I believe was called something like "Diamonds in the Rough". The cars had cracked windshields, primered fenders, maybe a dent or two. Similar to what this guy on eBay is doing now.

Those vehicles actually look more "prototypical" to me. ;-)
Most people never have enough time or money to finish those complete restorations and end up driving around in vehicles that look exactly like the ones in the pictures.
Been there, done that..........
