Good discussion as I am a huge fan of stock street cars. I looked around an original restorers shop that I do work for and he said exactly what Rod points out, the owner dictates what does and doesn't get done to a car. I sounded like my kids with the "yeah but" response and the best he can do is tell them if we do this it won't make this event as a way of trying to talk them out of putting a comp screen on a street car or a bottom half of a comp tank under a glass spare wheel tray. If the guy has pictures in his head of certain looks and no feel for originality and a big pocket full of cash, discussion is over and work is under way! What the hey it doesn't matter what's been done to them it can be undone by guys like us.
