Evan, you are off the rails, This is not like you. Of course she can have a restomod. The true restomod is a modern chassis with a classic restored original looking truck or car body, exterior and interior. Sometimes with an extra flair or two. The "mod" in restomod means modern......as in modern. The original body will stop, turn, handle, ride and accelerate on it's modern undercarriage/drivetrain components.
We don't know exactly want she wants, your negative comments are curious.
We have been advising to leave some of the chassis as is because we think that is a good enough restomod, but the poster and wife may decide to go full hog. You can put a car ride under that body if you want.
P.S. Rich or his wife never said anything about ride. Mostly safety, reliability and handling.
