I really don't have a problem with it. For those of us who like to build, it's not the approach we would take. But why couldn't a guy have pride in a car he commissioned? A great many of them think out and plan the concept, decide the running gear, pick the paint schemes and colors. Maybe he runs his own company, and needs to spend more time keeping his people employed than in his garage with a wrench.

I'm detecting a line of thought here. It apparently isn't right to hot rod a rare car. It apparently isn't right to have a hot rod unless you build it yourself. "Those guys" just don't understand like "we" do.
