Resto-Mod vs. Classic build?

[CampbellshotrodsAZ]

There is definitely room for everything. I have my 50's low and slow cruiser, a drag car, pro-touring-lite (Mustang), and am shortly going to start on pro-touring-serious (67 and 71 Camaros), and a 60's style gasser. Variety is what makes the hobby fun, I don't want to see all stock cars, all pro touring cars, or all drag cars, I can appreciate them all. But I do think there are many cars that should be kept stock, especially if it's a nicely restored or desirable original, ex. it may be old school technology, but a 67 Stingray with a solid lifter 427 and side pipes is original muscle car perfection.
