Hot Rodder or Purist?

Where do you stand. Over the years on this forum I’ve concluded that I myself am not a “Mopar guy” per say. I’m a car guy that has a Mopar.
I love the hot rodding world where folks can think and do things outside of the box.
I can appreciate the work and dedication it takes to do a complete restoration down to every nut and washer.
I can even appreciate the low riders, not my thing but the design and execution of paint schemes, hydraulic, and electrical systems not to mention the mechanical aspects that keep these vehicles in one piece.
But me personally, give me the hot rod, the make, model and sometimes year doesn’t matter. If you take a vehicle, any vehicle, make it yours, that’s what the hobby is for me.
Guess that’s why I’m drawn to the incomplete runners, the rat rods, the hot rods, again not taking anything away from the originals. Just my opinions.
Where do you folks stand?
