    Rspears makes a good point. And It's not limited to cars. Not too long ago, by baby got in a conversation in the check out line about motorcycles. The other lady asks her what bike I have. When my baby replied "Indian" the lady's expression was absolutely flat, because it was the wrong answer (not Harley )

    That being said, figure out whom you want to please with your build, then buy parts.

    BTW, I say build it to make YOU happy, and those whom like it will enjoy seeing it. As for those that don't, oh well.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    Just to be crystal clear, I agree 100% that it's your car and the only one you need to please is yourself. That said, if you're building thinking the car is going to be any kind of investment or even meet build costs in value, putting a car/pickup on a modern chassis is going to have a very, very limited market as time passes, IMO.
