Re: [Chrysler300] correct restorations vs restomods

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin;
It all depends on point of view. Those cars you saw were owned by 
people who just want a neat, but different car. They have no interest 
in restoring, just want to add whatever is trendy and special to their 
cars. Whatever gives it that "Wow" power in the eyes of their 
contemporaries.

Most of us on this list-server, while able to admire those kind of 
cars, prefer to "Restore" our cars to what they were new. Most may not 
look down on "Restros", but feel it's a shame to waste the few good 
cars left that way. They made millions of brand-x's, so there's plenty 
where they came from, ours are in limited numbers. Of course, if it's a 
4 door.....
That's our point of view. Some of us like to do subtle mods like 
Electric Fuel Pumps, Disc Brakes or even 4 wheel Discs, and some engine 
mods, while maintaining the overall appearance of being original.

Hey gang< Got a question that I am sure has been
  knocked about. I just left the MOPARS AT THE STRIP in
  Las Vegas this past weekend . Had a ball and had an
  opportunity to observe some happenings and what seems
  to be the prevailing winds blowing thru the mopar
  camp. I see a trend to Upgrade, To Modify, To use
  other than ,hard won,junkyard gathered, friend-club
  procured parts for our Mopars. I found this quite
  refreshing inlight of our brand -X step cousins
  racking up tons of cudos for creatively done cars
  while we as mopar group struggle to make the grade in
  a car wourld that is only now is supporting the
  chrysler hobby. It was a great thing to observe and
  the after market is doing a good job but it is not of
  the "correct restoration in a big sense. Please oyur
  feedback is important! sound off on your opinion on
  corrct or how much restify is ok with you. Kevin,
