Are you a purist?

I like to build them to their era with vintage parts. Never done one back to factory original more of a day 2 kind of person. Late 60s to early 70s drag cars are my interest. To each their own but modernized muscle cars do nothing for me personally. Wouldn't even care to drive one that cant trigger the same senses I know from back in the day.
They are supposed to smell like fuel, shake the mirror to a blur. Talk to your passenger after you shut it down as the pipes tink and snap back to cool. If they didn't scare the
bejeezis out of me every once in awile they wouldn't be worth the bother or cost.
Enjoy them for what they are a step back to a simpler time when the world wasn't as regulated and you were a little more in control over your own safety rather than the car
Itself.
