Wheel opening moldings on 68-70 road runners. That’s a good one too.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I hope to one day get to that level of fabrication skills. One of my best accomplishments is the interior on my '75 Hornet. I've mixed and matched a lot of OE AMC parts, designed my own upholstery (yet still looks like vintage stuff) and love the result. I've had a few people at shows tell me they had one EXACTLY like it. I just smile and say "No, you didn't!" I love that under-dash shelf. My 73 Gremlin's was most useful

Having to take the heater tube hose barb out of the 383's water housing to get some work done. And lack of an in-dash pizza oven

Wheel opening moldings on 68-70 road runners. Really? Weren't they available on the "Decor" package?

Mine is when someone takes a survivor in decent condition (especially one that's fairly rare) and rather than just driving it is as-is, they do a 100% restoration on it. It's only original once!
I am 100% guilty of this and God as my witness, I regret it so much. My 70 GTX was such a nice survivor. Really all it needed was the passenger fender painted to match the rest of the car (fender bender parked the car in the 80s).

Not building your old car so it's fast enough or fun enough to put a smile on your face.
Then buying a new Challenger or Charger to drive instead because your old car is slow (only because you built it that way).
Then going to car shows with your new car and wondering where all the cool old cars are. Oh Crap...THIS is quoteworthy!

No, I sold my old cars for a new challenger because not only is it faster, it’s also more comfortable, and reliable. As far as car shows I quit those years ago. A car is only as reliable as it's mechanic. I daily drive a 51 Plymouth. Yet to be stranded. Is it fast? fast enough for what I need. Is it comfortable? Yes, like setting on a sofa, AC would be nice in the summer when it's 105+ out. But that cowl vent works like a champ, I can add AC easily enough and no one is going to show up with another one like mine. Nothing more boring that showing up at a car show and seeing new cars, stock, setting there. Hello, is this a sales lot or a show of man's creativity, skills and talent?
