... and it's possible that you just might not like the look of something that you know to be "truly original." It could be something little, like the way the comp cars had the caps off the hubs, or something bigger like the fact that they didn't have glove boxes. Your best bet is to learn what was indisputably "truly original," and then make your choices as to how much, if any, to deviate from those benchmarks depending upon what you really like. Remember, ERAs have rectangular frames, which are arguably better than round (I don't really know, but ERA devotes a nice long page on it), and you're never going to change something like that. And we're a glass car, too. Although I can't tell you how many times somebody has rapped on one of my fenders and then turned to their buddy and said
"yep, that's aluminum alright." After this long, I don't even bother correcting them anymore.
