Hot Rodder or Purist?

Well, hot rodding is always fun and great, but a little piece of me will always say "maybe you shouldn't hack up your numbers matching, totally stock and not been tampered with duster." then another part of me will take over and just go balls to the wall and cut up the IMMACULATE floor pan to weld in a 4 speed hump. also, if a car is rare or not easily accessible or has some special history, like an ex drag car or a grandma owned coronet 440 4 speed, then no. don't hack it up and ruin it but if you do, make it badass and not a restomod. (there are times and places for them but unmolsted drivers are not the place.)
