Motor Trend/Hotrod article: 1972 Scamp restomod by Pure Vision
Who cares about the bumble bee stripe? Lots of things on that car didn’t come on a Scamp.
It’s still somebody’s car, if they like the stripe that’s all that matters.
Who cares? I think you quoted someone who does. :)
I put up the thread to talk about a car that seemed interesting and well done and just about every aspect of that is subject to opinion.
Now that we have established that, I think the bumblebee stripe looks great on this Scamp but I can also see how it could be out of place from one perspective. If someone restomods an Oldsmobile and they retrofit Buick fender portholes, it would irk me no matter how well executed they were. So I think I get abodyjoe's point.

The rubber band tires ruin the overall picture of this car
I totally get this point and often, I have the same first impression but more and more often, you can spot the cars that are built mostly for performance by the use of these tires. Drag tires not withstanding, the tires that come in the non-rubber band look are really only suitable for driving to and from car shows. Even a stock performance oriented Mopar is
wasted on BFG Radial T/As or Cooper Cobras, etc.
So in the context of a performance oriented build, "rubber band" tires can actually carry performance credibility.
