First one of the series that I watched and although some good info some is misleading. It still surprises me when someone goes to this much trouble for a video that everyone will see including informed enthusiasts and doesn't double check their facts first. It is not like there are not numerous threads on accepted methods and looks on this forum  There are a number of things that are off in the video from what is considered concours correct . If you are copying things from this video It would be very prudent to double check the way the parts are finished if you don't want grief later. For example his idea of what a absolutely correct upper control arm looks like and mine are quite a bit different, rivets are done wrong and should be waffle style on the top , boots are different then factory or even the closer repros that most vendors sell. Proper application of rivets and a more correct looking boot would be a typical expectation in concours. They would be minor deductions in DIV II concours but deductions all the same. The same goes for the spring perch which should be bare metal not black and the bushing cross bars was bare steel and not bright shiny zinc .I almost missed the glued rubber pads on the perch for the coil spring that were used on later 70's era service parts but not used on assemblyline.  That is something that can be easily addressed by stripping paint and or stripping zinc off cross bar or painting a more appropriate finish but you have to have the insight to know what is the right look first. 
The ID paint mark on the rear leaf's is in the wrong place. Things like paint daubs are not typically deducted if they are not applied BUT if ones are applied in a obvious wrong spot they are deductions. Those are just a few things but there are more. It is a good effort but if you don't want many missteps one should verify with what the consensus is on this forum first. Just a few of my observations others may have different ones.

Looks like someone has looked at allot of magazine articles and online ones and borrowed from multiple sources (different plants and years) Reason for allot of the markings being incorrect or positioned differently than 67 San Jose. Yellow axle end, axle writing, big X .......... Painted front coil springs, bolt in cross member, backing plate finish .... will stop there

Did find it surprising that the black pinch weld overspray was not reproduced on the floor pans. 90% didn't end up on the pinch weld and hod to go somewhere  Happy to see the body color rear wheel wells 

Don't mean to be picking the effort and car apart just, as above, concerned that someone else will copy the practices and details from the video and in turn possibly creating some disappointment for that person later at some point.

The idler arm was assembled wrong as the arm off the shaft is pointing downward should be pointing upward so that makes the draglink hang down on rh side as it should be level. Have seen these idler arms assembled wrong before on rebuilt idlers but this arm looks aftermarket so the company making them either made a mistake or someone took it apart and assembled it wrong. Just sayin because the rh  steering and rh tierods will be in a bind.
