why do people help make old cars look bad

Don't sweat it. Hell I think some of the stock stuff that Ma Mopar did was just plain ugly. I get a lot of negative comments on my cars at car shows because someone doesn't like this or that. It's usually some jackwagon who wants to tell me all about some car they HAD. I just smile and wave...I think this is more about having fun and finding what looks right can sometimes be a challenge. You can always strip it and start over. I look at my grilles and wonder what the **** was I thinking sometimes and other times I am happy because I did it. I am learning and getting quicker and more confident with each car. My wife supports me and if she says it looks good that is all that matters to me...
