I feel like the idea with fine point judging is that you're not building a car per se, like a thing to drive in alongside other cars, but rather you're building an art object, a ship in a bottle. Cosmetic differences aren't to be overlooked, they are the entire judging criteria. The goal is to attain through diligence, effort, and phenomenal expense a car identical to one that sat on a dealer's lot in 1931 (or whenever). The function is almost beside the point – the requirement is that it be able to, as they say, run and stop.
