No Response To My "Street-rod" Personalization

[M. B. Robinson]

This car is a #@$^& imitation, kit-car-replica !!!; it is no more than just subject matter for an independent, free-thinking artist to personalize. Unless YOU own a $1-million ORIGINAL, your vote/critique counts little with me. Even then, it wouldn't count much, as you mindlessly follow the be-****ted asses of all the OTHER cattle in front of you. What I'm interested in is quality (ie/eg upgrades in technology), and value, not authenticity. ...if ERA is embarassed by it, I'll bet that I can find someone else to sell me theirs. My strongest motivation is for some moron(s) to tell me that I can't do something. If I own it 20 years from now, when they haul me off....and, I am happy with it,... who cares what the resale is, or what you think? Flush you, sooooo much. I don't expect "them" to DO anything, except give me credit for all the 'authentic'/cheesey hardware that I have no use for. I don't even want it to state "Cobra " anywhere.....similar to a (chopped, channeled, sectioned, stretched, pinched, narrowed, lowered, etc, etc, etc) '33 Ford 3-window coupe that requires no stinking, clone advertising for me to be "validated" by others. It seemed reasonable to request the exterior trunk skin be smoothed and blended before it is sandwiched to the interior skin. I can't even begin to tell you how much I HATE the ("look-at-me, look-at-me!!!!" , butt-ugly, side pipes, exposed/exaggerated gas-filler cap, ANY STINKING, tasteless, "original" RIVETS, and Civil-War-designed front fender side vents.......ETC). And, yes, if I can find a way to lower the seat down into the frame (to sit IN the car, rather than ON it...my quote long before it appeared in some replica's literature), I intend to chop the homely, billboard windshield no less than 3 inches. I promise to keep the hood closed at all times to avoid any fist fights in the parking lot from insulted 'purists'....as if I'd choose to socialize with the closed-minded /intellectually-impaired at (any) public showings. I have absolutely no wish for anyone else to have anything even remotely resembling my kit car, please.....like Grandpa' used to say, "If we all liked the same things, then everyone would want to be married to Grandma' ".
