I fully understand, and agree. If I were building something right now, it would be the sort of thing I came to love many years ago. I am a child of the sixties, with a preferrence for performance cars, performance image, and beautiful machines. Since I work for a widely dispersed market, (lowriders, offroad, drag race, '50s custom, hot rods, choppers, even planes, drag boats, collectibles, and much more) I have come to respect the different styles for what they are, even if I would choose something different for myself.

Still, You have to recognize that there is a very large group that follows the current fashionable trend. Where were all of the flat black and primered '50s rods & customs 10 years ago? I did a couple about 12 years ago, and did not recall seeing anything like it since the mid '60s!

I was just "trolling" to see what builders are thinking right now.
