66GTO Jim, well put, that's exactly why I keep reminding people in this thread this is not about things people do to CUSTOMIZE their cars, this is about the things that we see time and again on HIGH DOLLAR RESTORATIONS that are incorrect. As someone said in an earlier post, if you tell a lie enough times, some people begin to think it's the truth.
So that's all I'm looking for, those instances where megabucks are spent restoring a car to FACTORY CORRECT, yet these resto shops keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Then these cars appear at Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, a museum (like Volo) with descriptions stating it's a meticulous nut-and-bolt resto, everything is correct, but it's a 1968 GTO with a Judge wing.
Just trying to keep the air clear, preserve some history, and educate those that may not be aware that when you see a team photo of the Denver Broncos, and one guy is wearing a Green Bay Packer uniform, that's not correct. If you staged the photo and know it's wrong, not a problem. Modifications and personalization to your own car are NOT an issue here.
