I suspect if you found a NOS '32 Ford body in a long forgotten and hermetically sealed building, you'd also have to put in a similar amount to make it "perfect". Keep in mind that the fit-and-finish requirements back in the '30s were not as tight as that of modern cars, or as tight as what people typically require of their (over) restorations.
