Re: Stock Restoration?
When someone finds a nice car, they obviously have a decision to make about what they want to do with it. Restore it, modify it a bit like most people did back in the day, or "upgrade" it with modern components? <span style="font-style: italic">In most cases</span>, the decision should purely be based on what result the owner really wants his car to be.
But here's when I believe another factor should be considered. If the car has survived all these years without any of those modifications and has most of its original equipment, then I think the car itself should be given some consideration in that decision. When a car has gone that long without being molested, it has a place in history and it deserves to be treated with respect and either preserved as-is or restored. In that case, I think the car itself is the most important part of the decision. That's just my way of looking at it and I hope I haven't added to the confusion.
