vent warning: hot rodded regrets

After 25 years of putting on discs, carbs, intakes, headers, wider wheels tires, nitrous, turbo, blowers on various projects... View attachment 1715819400 nowadays I wish I'd left everything completely stock.
Sure it's faster, stops better, looks "cooler", but lost much of the immensely pleasant nature that it originally had.
Anyone else wish they'd saved all their stock parts? That's my biggest regret. Should've kept the 10" drums and steel 13" wheels so I could go back to grandpa status car.

I just checked out some of your pics. You can do a motor/wheel swap and **** you are there. Keep upgraded brakes and throw some steelies on her. Yer good! Keep your hot rod stuff around though....#noregrets


EDIT: might be just a cam and intake swap to be honest. new hood maybe. thrash it. mufflers.
