Keep in mind that the original drivetrain is being saved with the car and it will always be possible to reverse the mods. Any number of years it exists as a custom will be better than more years rotting into the ground that's for sure.

I suppose it's natural that many people on this forum would express thoughts similar to those expressed here but depending on the extent (severity? ) of the modifications, the point that the car is better off than sitting around rusting (like the one Ryan posted a couple weeks ago for eg.), certainly has merit. Anyhow, I know you have a thick skin but thanks for posting anyway. If nothing else it will be interesting to see what gets done to it.

As we can already see, the reception will be mostly head shaking. Could be just for shock value. I want my fair share

At least you could influence that they didn't took a car in better condition, a more desireable drivtrain or colour combo. I still liked it more being rusty in Dans garage then being heavily customized. I am sure it didn't get worse while owned by Dan. Carsten

Saying it's a Satellite made to look like a Superbird vs. a real Superbird will definitely raise a few eyebrows on the show circuit. That's just my I can't throw stones as I changed the color of my car and added a few things.

So progress, is still progress. Would I have started with a real Bird ? No. But then again its not my car or money. So my opinion is moot point. Owning a shop I do what the customer wants. Whether or not I agree with said mods is irrelavant.

Just because they're on that site doesn't meen they are 'for sale'.. I don't recall seeing this bird on the open market, but if it was, Im sure someone would have scooped it up for an OE type of restoration.

If someone wants to save a basket case and spend more than the value of the car when it's finished they should go right ahead and do that. We have a rule around here. We don't build by committee.

Doug I realize this and its been mentioned previously if you have read the comments at all. It's his car and he can waste his money as he pleases, BUT why start out by seeking out a very limited production, desirable, #'s matching car to modify when a cheaper alternative that's much easier to obtain and cheaper to start with? I posted a link with a perfect car to start with above. Just seems foolish and slightly arrogant if you ask me. As for the 'we don't build be committee' comment last I checked, I can still put my two cents in being this is a public forum. I just hope this is tastefully done and easily reversible.

Pretty much everything I own is modded. There is room for everyone in the hobby to do their thing. Personally, I would walk past 100 restored birds to check out the one with mods... but that's just me. The car was very rough, and somebody wants to put the time and effort to save it. That's all that matters to me. Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural
