I can understand the purist's point of view, but personally, give me a resto-mod any day of the week. If you're not in it for the money, there are so many options to make your car better than it came from the factory, in every way: looks, performance, handling....

I agree with you, Tammy. You'll never get the money that a numbers matching original will command, but I guarantee that a resto-mod will be more fun and stress-free. No rules!
