Why cut up an original when you can take any run of the mill car and do the same thing?

When the rare cars have already have been modified back in the day and have some kind of history or racing heritage I do agree on leaving them like that or restoring them to their former glory.

If its an untouched original example, I would leave it as is.

But oh well, its his car. I would have NEVER done that to that car though!

I have a 67 Barracuda notchback slant 6 to cut up as I please, stuff a HEMI in it, cage it, whatever....my 69 HEMI Charger Im restoring to bone stock specs. But oh well, thats what makes sense to me. It'd be boring if we all thought alike.
