I am a sucker for rusty patina (true rusty patina not that faked brushed on crap) so I like survivors gives them unique character that cannot be replicated but safe to drive. Then a close 2nd I like the restored with fresh paint but tend to get lost in the sea of fresh paint vehicles at cruise ins. I appreciate the modified ones as well but sometimes the owners go overboard IMO.

Rat rods I'm mixed - one hand if they truly piece together the thing from our leftover rusted out rusted through crap I'm all for it saving that old steel. If they cut up a barn find or buy an older restoration and cut the body up and let it rust then we have problems haha.
