Well, I'll put it this way for me in my opinion I have a car a 70 swinger it's slant 6 auto car I got for $400 a few years ago it's getting cut up for big block drag duty.
So I will cut the fender wells for headers, nice coated 2 inch hookers, my engine is nice looking hemi orange & aluminum bolt on's.
I'm mini tubbing it. Moving the springs in, putting 15x3.5 & 15x12 weld draglites on it.
But I'm painting it like a factory car with a bumblebee stripe.
Probably putting a 6 pack hood on it when I can afford to.
It's a low dollar car, it's a piece of crap as it is now, so anything I do to it will make it better.
