Dave,
I think you missed the point. I'm not angry and there is no argument to
win or lose. Except for the Edsel thing, I was serious. There is no
right or wrong, there's your car and there's someone else's car. I'd no
more repaint a Monet that I would tell you what you should do with your
car or criticize your choice. My car isn't stock, hasn't been for 20
years, way before I go it. If I had wanted a stock original car, I'd
have bought one and left it that way. I like stock cars, and appreciate
the work that goes into them. I just don't own one. The Fairbitch is a
fine example, I like it...Would I build it, no, but it is creative, and
the builder, while possibly demented, isn't wrong.
Since you brought up Monet, It's interesting the reaction the
Impressionists received for not painting like everyone else. From
Wikipedia " Radicals in their time, early Impressionists broke the
rules of academic painting." And " The public, at first hostile,
gradually came to believe that the Impressionists had captured a fresh
and original vision, even if it did not receive the approval of the art
critics and establishment."

I really enjoyed this thread. I guess I lost the argument. The modified
people won.
I have been so motivated for the modification side that I am going to
buy a bucket of BERH paint and a roller at home depot and head to the
Museum of Fine Art and "MODIFY" some of those outdated old paintings
that can't compete with a fine digital print. How can Monet compete wit
7 megapixels?
The Mods Win.

Show me a stock engined roadster that will "dust a Corvette off the
line".
The last 'vette I saw ran a 12.3s 1/4 mile and it was bone-stock. Alvin
GogineniSan Jose, CA67.5 SPL/SR20. A really fast "old school" Datsun
that will
dust a Corvette off the line and put a big ol' s**t eatin' grin on your
face?
PRICELESS! :-)
