mixing years

I always figure two things:
1. It's your car, if your not selling it and you have likes/dislikes or reasons for it. More power to ya... mod away

2. If it's not a true resto, or at a a judged show, I doubt people will notice small the changes. Especially if they are tasteful and cleanly done.

My 67 dart has 5.7 Hemi that gets noticed immediately but not rest. It has a valiant dash (because I wanted the larger cluster opening), modified Badges, deleted trim, seats from a WRX recovered to look factory. Quarterstick under factory console, tons of other small details that rarely get noticed at all. When I bought it years ago, it had a 68 grill, I swapped to a 67 GT grill, and I really wish I hadnt. I like the 68 look better, so I'll be back shopping for that soon...

People may occasionally ask about what's this or that, but I never get a bad vibe from most people. the only crowd I ever get any grief from are the true resto guys who are amazed I sold this or chopped that. I simple say it's not that kind of car, it wasn't rare, special, or even close to original when I got it, so I built what I wanted...


Just my opinion,

Joe
