This thread just keeps grinding on!
I for one am grateful for what I have and never try to misrepresent it. It is what it is and doesn't try to be anything else...a CSX4000 glass car.
But I have heard my share of misconceptions. I always just listen and be polite.
I have been told the following at a few events:
That's really an AC. (no, it's not)
That's a Mustang with a Kit body (no, it's not)
The real originals were made of steel before aluminum (no, they weren't)
It's not a slab-side, so it's a kit car (no, not true)
You don't have leaf springs, so it's not real (well...)
The 427's were a big failure and took Shelby down (ok, you go with that)
They didn't have disc brakes back then (well, yes they did)
If it was real, it would have a gas cap in the center (OK, thanks)
If it was real, it would be in light blue or red (OK, thanks)
The list goes on and it's usually someone trying to show his wife or girlfriend how much they know about cars, so I just let them run.
The comments I get from folks like Gary Patterson (SAI) or Lance Stander (SPF) carry much more weight to me.
