I think "numbers matching" is a stage a lot of people go through. Most outgrow this stage.
Ha, ya, I think I out grew it and I aint even done with my first build.
Although, I think there is something to be said for a numbers matching resto. Its a lot of work if the vehicle is not original from the start. Not that I'm scarred of a lot of work, just unnecessary for my build, as yall (and myself) have convenced me.
