id say yes, but im not building my car that way, I want to drive my car like I stole it. its why im such a fan of FAST and purestock the cars look very close to stock and they get used like they are supposed to. I prefer stock, period correct, and old race cars like if it was all done back in the day when the cars were only a few years old, but the one thing I cant stand it modernized old muscle cars with 20inch wheels, 2 tone paint, chrome everything and modern interiors. but hey, that's my opinion do what you want to your car after all it is yours

I totally appreciate the amount of research and work that goes into a OE restored car. I do not think any car is really OE in a sense. These cars had parts rusting on suspensions just sitting on the lot waiting to be sold. Some were under snow, some had knobs falling off, or a defect from day one. These things cannot be captured, only survivors come close, but even most survivors have had some changes over the years.
