I feel as you and others do, build your truck or car or whatever it is to your vision and not what someone tries to tell you is your vision. I do appreciate any and all comments as long as they are not derogative towards the build or builder. I understand that everyone has what they prefer or like and that is great, I have mine, BUT I will always appreciate what someone else builds. I just wished that everyone would take this same thought as you and others one here do, but .... I have been to car/truck shows and had people of all ages talk such negative crap about someone's ride just because they do not like it. Hell, as many of you may know I am covered in tattoos and I was even at a tattoo convention/show and heard people talking crap about others tattoos! I am sorry this has nothing to do with trucks, I am just hoping that others who have done this to others maybe rethinks what they say before they do about anything, just think before you respond.
The old saying "If you cannot say anything positive or nice, then do not say anything".

I wholeheartedly agree w/this philosophy in general.

With that said, while one's vision may be awesome to 'them', it may not translate or play-out the same to the masses. Not a big deal as far as 'appreciation of the work' until it moves to the marketplace where monetary compensation comes into the equation. Once on the market, one's vision may not yield the same return vs a similarly built vehicle w/a more 'common' appeal. One needs to keep these factors in mind to tame their expectations if they decide to put it on the market.
