BWG.... I'm not sure I know the definition for "traditional" guy. I doubt that me or a lot of others fit that exact style.
I can only speak for myself so here goes. To chop up a good, original specimen of ANY vehicle would be a sin. There are lots of "parts" trucks out there, to save from the crusher, to cut and do as you please. That would be a good thing.
So, somewhere in between is where I fit. I can't afford to buy the show boats and have to buy them, drag them home and resurrect them!! In so doing we use what we have available and what we can buy, bargain,swap,trade and get it on the road.
In the end its YOUR vehicle and your entitled to do as you please or see fit to suit your own taste. Just PLEASE don't destroy a nice original.
Good luck on your project and if we can help let us know. After all don't we do it just for the sheer joy, satifaction and sense of accomplishing something?! Sure we do...and love every minute of it.
