Restored car pet peeves

The PO of my Swinger was going after a 340 clone. I don't try to pass it off as anything but what it is. One thing nice about the car already being messed with, I don't feel bad about changing things. I entered in a stock class at a car show and felt bad about winning a trophy. If you know what I mean.

Racers often hold the axiom "If it aunt in the rule books, it's legal". I see no difference. If you entered a car show as stock, and the judges didn't catch it and call ya out, it's on them. I'm sure it "looked" stock enough. People used to (maybe still do) hide nitrous lines under intake manifolds to maintain a stock look (and win a pink slip or two I'm sure). Again, if it looks like a duck, well, could be an Eagle :)
