Bolte,
It's painful, but you got it bring it out, good, bad, ugly or whatever. We will just have to "deal with it". Heck you know most of us all ready have our loyalties lined up one way or another. So lets shake it up! I've heard about the glass hood scoop thing, and this after all, about "originality" more than what "looks best".
I can see where a machine made body would be cheaper (huge benefit) and be more consitent (nice). But theres something pretty cool about "hand made" and no two being the same. Kinda like the originals?
