Agreed. I think if you were to look into the pristine "numbers matching" muscle cars that you see on the big auction shows, how many have original (or NOS) sheet metal and interiors? As I've said before, I restore my original parts, or if I add anything, it's factory original, period pieces. My truck is no show truck but all the sheet metal is factory, as well as my drivetrain. And most importantly, it's all mine.
