There's been some chat the past few days about where popular opinion lies in terms of metal replacement. The patch VS. replace rule I'd call it. I want to tackle another popular opinion because its more directly related to my pink challenger.

The more I dig, the more this car of mine becomes rare. It's one of 5 known FM3 A66 challengers, and the only one with a black top and gut. Should this now become a by the tag/sheet resto? I had plans of adding discs up front and a rallye dash. Does it matter that it won't retain alot of its original metal after? That its missing its original block? That its a complete car using all its original hardware, interior , trim, etc after its all restored? Or is the fact that its a pink E body good enough to warrant an OEM style resto?
