[Licensed to kill]

Not my cup of tea but it's not my car. I'm sure the owner loves it and that is what it's all about. More power to him/her. I hear a lot of people diss the 350/350 swap as 'just like everyone else' on hot rod sites but find it odd to hear it here where, pretty much every car runs the stock "cookie cutter" drivetrain. How is it that THAT isn't "getting old"?. The only thing that tends to bother me is when someone buys a very solid survivour or even a well restored car and proceeds to make a "rat rod" out of it. IMO there are plenty of cars in the bush and farmers fields for that but still, you buy it, your free to do as you please. None of this hobby should be about pleasing or impressing others. It's what makes YOU happy. Here's a little story that is relevant to this thread. I also am on a muzzleloader builders forum. One day, someone finds a pic on line of a "fantasy" rifle that someone has built. It's irked most of the purists on the site and, much like this thread, elicited a flurry of negative remarks. I decided to try something so I posted that, they should direct their comments directly to the builder as he was a member of the forum. You should have seen the apologies and backpedaling. I git a PM from a moderator (who also had dissed the rifle) asking for the forum moniker of the maker so he could personally apologize. I told him I had no idea who made the rifle , was just making a point. He got the point. Just sayin'
