Re: No mo' clones for me...
If that's the case (girlfriend's car) then build it any way she wants! Heck, she's probably gonna' wreck it anyway, right?
JUST KIDDING!
Seriously, it sounds like a fun car to build. Give her what she wants and let the nay-sayers go to h___.
Oh, and the best way to deal with all the nosy car show guys (who usually don't own anything interesting themselves) is to tell them what the car is--a "custom" or a "street machine" or "it's my girlfriend's ride." OR, just don't answer any questions--put the car on display and then walk around the show. Another method is once you've answered the question(s), ask them what they drive and sound interested when you ask. They just might own something cool (not likely) and if they don't you have just shut them up. Give as good as you get, so to speak.
I wonder if car guys were nit-picky busybodies in the old days? Any of the old heads remember this kind of crap at car shows back in the '70s? '60s? '50s?
