68 barracuda restore or hot-rod?????

I'll be honest and tell you that noting stays stock in my stable, though if you restored it or just made it look great and stock, you'd have my respect for doing so.
If ya sell it to me, it'll look like that black hot rod above. Promise, I can't help myself.

The bottom line is, do what you like to do with it and don't look back or give it a second thought.
