So are all the people driving they're AC Cobra clones or 32 Ford clones,replicas,tributes embarassed and worried about street cred?I don't think so.I don't think it cheapens the hobby one bit.There is room in the car hobby for the purist and the hobbiest that like to make there car perform and look the way the want.If someone is going to spend big bucks on a car purchase do your homework.

I agree! To each his own. That's what I love about hobbies/cars/etc. Expression. Individualization. etc.

And HAVING FUN with them. For some, that fun is the challenge of hunting down all the parts required to restore a car to factory specs. for some it's cleaning them to concours levels (and then not driving them for fear of getting them dirty)

I like to tinker and putter with them, and then DRIVE them!
