This is exactly what makes this site great. Conversation. opinions and dialogue. For the record, I'm an old school guy too.



I can't say I completely agree with "they don't appreciate the cars for what they represent of history" as a blanket statement. (I don't believe that is how it was intended) because I do know of many "Restomod" owners who wholeheartedly do so, but I understand what you are saying.
