Restored car pet peeves
Here we go again, we get into the discussion about someone building their car. I've always advocated that the owner build it to suit them. If they want a concours restoration, they will eventually find out what is correct & what isn't. When I look at cars & see what they have done, I think to myself "that must be what they wanted". Everyone has their own ideas as to what makes them happy with their build & if the great masses don't care for it, I say " you buy it & do it your way?" My car is a race car & I don't pretend that it is any thing else. I've get good comments, as well as negative comments & that's their opinion. I was ragged big time for all of the parts that were taken out or cut out of my 71 Demon 340 4 speed car when I first joined FABO & BBD. I explained that I was the 4th owner & the car had been a race car since it was 3 months off the showroom floor. I have fixed & cleaned up most of the stuff that was butchered. I have no intent to try & make it a street car again, it's too far gone for that. Everything has a price & if someone wants to buy my car & restore it to be a street car all they have to do is bring money. Rant over!
