I think the only people that really get ticked about anything not like an original are the purists. It was one of them that was on me abut the power brakes and my Cobra was not even close to looking like an original. I never say anything to anyone about what they have on their cars, but I finally pointed out to this person that the originals never came with 750 horse 512 cubic inch engines like he had in his. And I see a lot of things that I think improve the safety and handling of the cars that weren't available back in the early 60s. But just as in all things, cars or otherwise, there are always going to be some people that will tell you all the wrong things you have done. I just ignore them unless they point out something that would work better than what I have.
