I would I owned a restoration shop for many years ,Not every customer could afford a full restoration and we had to come up with every idea we could to produce a high quality product on a budget, like always polishing stainless windshield trim before removing the trim/glass from the truck ,the gasket holds it for you and there's less chance of bending/distorting the trim from the high speed die grinder fitted with a 4" buffing wheel .I've built limos in the 80s and that's where I got the idea for the power rear window in my 67 restomod and my old limo parts supplier had all the parts cheap .I built aircraft/yacht interiors for 30+ years and we would use many tools ,ideas and designs from those fields in everything we built . I had some very skilled guys in the shop and everyone was involved in every project .lots of Indians 1 chief , too many squaws
