I've damaged more than my share of classic cars and trucks beyond repair over the past 50 years or so. Ever pulled all the exterior sheet metal off a 55-57 Chevy 2-door hardtop to re-skin a dirt track racer? We did it regularly out in California in the early 1970's- - - -nice, rust-free ones, too! Fast-forward 30 years, and a lot of mid-70's Monte Carlo and Grand Prix bodies got the same treatment for the Nashville Fairgrounds track. The body of choice for my father's round track cars in the very early 1950's were 34 Ford 3-window coupes!

These days, I appreciate a good stock restoration a lot more than somebody's hot rod. Maybe it's part of getting old!
