THIS is what annoys me the most, every aspect of the car down to the engine colors is correct (or at least looks of that era) then they throw some cheap american racing rims on it. its like did you run outa money to properly buy/restore the wheels??? most rims of those eras are being reproduced same with the hubcaps...

I too like seeing completely stock cars especially when you can hear them run as they are surprisingly quiet.

I do open the hood on my chevette at cruise ins as the hood paint is not pretty to look at and not that many people remember/know they were rwd.
