I guess everyone looks at this subject a bit differently. I come from the point of view that I like my cars to look generally period correct. I don't own any rods, customs or Frankenstein cars. They don't have to be 100% original but I want them to look, feel and sound how I remember from my youth.

My cars don't have braided hoses, MSD distributors, 17 inch wheels, chrome master cylinder caps or dark window tinting. I have a 66 427 Vette and I don't want a Chrysler 440 in it. I have a 67 Plymouth 440 GTX and I don't want a Chevy motor in it. I built my ERA to look as reasonably period as I could (couldn't do a thing with that rectangular frame chassis) and I didn't want a Chevy or Chrysler motor in it. But there is a big custom and hot rod crowd who have different goals and want to do their thing and that's just fine by me. I enjoy looking at them too.
