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.
