I don't think that Mike started the thread to talk about the success or demise of the 1970 grills. If you look at this thread it pertains to the 1971 grill and it's possibilities. The comment "don't go down that road" might better be directed to whoever side tracked the topic.
That is where you started in on people that don't agree with you. As he said, Mike took it down that road himself, he knew he would get comments so he should have let that dog lay there. He brought it up, that HAS to be clear at this point.
Since you agree that grinding up perfectly good parts makes no sense, why are you so set on sparing with people that hold that same view?
