How is that an overreaction? There are plenty of purists out there who dislike any changes. You're not the type of guy he was referring to.
Right !
I'm the guy who doesn't give restored cars a second glance. Instead I'll take time looking over anything that deviates from "stock". I want to see the owner's tastes, iseas and skills. I may not like what I see - different strokes for different folks - but I appreciate and applaud the effort.
Bingo we have a winner. These restored show poodles are boring. Back in the day the only ones driving around with their steel wheels and cheap hub caps were grandpas. I lean more to the day 2 cars. Aftermarket rims, aftermarket shifters, gauges, stereos engine mods etc.
I don't care what you do to your car. Its your car. Doesn't matter if its my taste. I don't care if you use the wrong terminology for a 6pk, wedge, hemi etc. I am smart enough to understand what you meant.
But if you want a pet peeve ok the whinny crybabies that get all butt hurt over a cowl scoop, ford 9", gm trans in a mopar.
