im discusted with old guy purists
I was going to restore my 64 dart gt \6 convertible to original, but after a heated discusion with my car, she said she wanted to be reborn as a race horse instead of her slow cart and buggy past life. I said slant six, she said new hemi, I said all drum brakes, she said all disc brakes, I said automatic she said manual. We must have went on like this for at least an hour. I guess If I could start my life all over again, Id change a few things. Im just happy she didnt want to be reborn as a Chevy II or Ford Falcon.:-D
Purist like what they like, we like what we like, but if im gonna rebuild a car, I want to drive it fast, stop when I need to and not worry If the judge at a show is gonna like or not like what Ive done. I do want to take my car to a car show sometime, but I dont care if I dont win a thing, I just want to be around other car nuts. To be honest, Id rather go on a cruise down some two lane black top then go to a car show, but occasionally Im sure Ill stop by one, at least in the first few years.
