Well Drillium Revival represents the gold standard, not oldschool garage hack. He is highly revered for his excellent work and exceptional results. These are new builds and therefore not subject to the imperfect craftsmanship of back in the day. Suffice it to say this drillium is period for correct for the here and now.

RIP DR

Don't get me wrong, it's nice. But it should be a little awkward and uneven. It was basically up to a guy in a garage with a drill press, and a supply of marijuana cigarettes.
