Sorry, I'm useless when it comes to car talk.
Lol! *jazz hands* I'll post a pic here eventually. Just got to get rid of quarantine gut.

In my youth, I used to patronize a speed shop called "Service Center", located at the corner of Victory and Sepulveda Blvds in Van Nuys, CA. It was famous for speed parts, but is long gone. There was a pinstriping shop owned by a guy, last name of Moss, in that same shopping center. He was one picky SOB, and if he didn't like what he did on your car, he'd do it over or wipe the paint off and tell you that he was sorry and send you on your way...or just leave it on and tell you it was free. You remind me of that guy. If your dad likes it and the customer likes it, run with the money. There is no accounting for taste, and you aren't going to bankrupt that customer, given what they are paying for the rest of that work. Don't be so hard on yourself!
Oh geez, I just involuntarily shivered. I don't think I've ever undid a work like that. I am more of a, "I am not entirely happy with it....but I did my best and that's what you get" kinda guy. Like I said, I understand that my perception might be warped from sitting too close to it and working intimately on it for several hours. The feeling usually fades by the end of a project. Besides, I also understand that if my dad wanted perfect, he could have taken it in professional. He wants this painterly interpretation.
I thank you guys for the reassurance. It certainly helps me feel better about it all.

So what is the make/year?
I'm not sure. I don't know cars, so, I'll have to ask him.
