Tell 'em to F.O. 
These cars are for hands on people like us, if buyer doesn't want to jump in and get his hands dirty, this isn't his kind of car. 
These cars are always giving us fits about everything, that's why we always try something and then improve upon it. 
Engine cover.....my ass, I'm not even going to install one.....

Car drives straight, stops good, all glass good, all lights work, horn works, all new wiring, new tires, etc. His list of wants in order to certify are, new steering rack( I have one), all new rubber bushings front and rear, engine has oil leaks( B.S. just did all gaskets- its the steering pump that leaks) no defrost fan, wants new rear brake hardware( brake shoes are fine), antifreeze leak (one small intermittent drip) no neutral safety switch, leaking front wheel cal (good to know), engine cover must be metal and did not like the seat belts.  So much for Crown originality. A lot of these issues I'm aware of and want to fix as I go but for him to certify the car has to be pristine! I'm feeling a little pissed! Anyone else running into this crap?
