Why is that any different from the resto-rod styles that so many hot-rodders build including Chip Foose (among Foose's many build designs)?

Angela,
Agree but what I did is to take my late model car back to early specs. If he would do that with a couple of cars I would watch every show he has. Just that my tastes are not "early hot rod" with the silly 20" tires and so on.
As well would love to see a full restoration on a FJ-40 Cruiser or Land Rover that simply just restored the vehicle (with some nice but tasteful upgrades) so that it looked nice but not over the top IMHO.
Joe
