[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1679412, member: 93138"] I will contend that my answer may or may not match your answer. Or anyone else's. In hobby autos we have the extremely misused and misunderstood "Restored" & "Restoration". When most use those terms what they really mean is "Thoroughly Rebuilt" which is very, very far from being the same thing as Restored. Others really mean "Restomod" where they've not only thoroughly rebuilt the vehicle, they have also modified it from how the OEM built it. "Restored" and "Restoration" have had their meanings diluted by those who are trading on what the words used to mean for monetary gain, rendering them useless descriptions to those of us who really knew what they're supposed to mean. A really good way to pizz off those people is to correct them. "Full Custom" and just "Custom" have all of the same potential to be misused. In a year's time it would not surprise me if "Full Custom" is used (& accepted by the unknowing) to describe a generically re-barreled box-stock action, and "Custom" is used to describe an otherwise box-stock rifle that someone had Cerakoted.
