I can think of 3 spyder, 904/906, carrera restorers that use base clear off the top of my head.

I wasn't referencing early single stage metallics. I mentioned early 911 metallics because they were almost always base/clear as opposed to solids that were almost always single stage way up until the 80's. As for "old school", yes, I think many of the best shops are. But mostly because it's what the market demands and it's correct.
