j/k!
Some things that people do to rare, vintage cars really pisses me off.
It's okay to bolt something on to a rare, vintage or collector car, but keep the old parts and imho only do stuff that is easily removed or reversed.
A guy I knew a few years ago spent years hunting down a particular 1953 Buick Roadmaster. This car was untouched original......... factory original paint interior, everything........ The previous owners had taken great trouble to preserve a treasured museum piece, probably the only one in the country (Canada).
So what does my buddy do? He cuts off the front half of the frame, welds in a Nova subframe, throws away the original drivetrain and replaces it with a 401 Buick V8, trans and accessories. ( and scraps his decent '60's Buick Riviera for the parts.)
So he has destroyed 2 valuable Buicks to make a very expensive retro-rod that he hardly drives.
