ya im gonna agree that the first thread really shouldnt have been locked but at the same time i disagree with that thread. their is probably a good 60/40 split (almost half original/restomoders). i know i threw a couple new tech things in my car such as disc brakes and new suspension, wanna do a rack and pinion conversion next. plus each mustang is just the same old same old, each one is different and each on i can gurentee you has its own personality., basically as atomsk said....to eac his own and do what you want with your car. and dont bitch that other peoples car look plain cuz their original

i think this thread deserves more locking than the first one

 

first post-should not have been deleted, and the super snake one should not have been either.

 

I think we need to only lock or move threads if the rules are broken. Perhaps the rules need to be modified.

 

Hey Glen, How about un-deleting or un-sticky that one. The size of and number of posts is nothing compare to the worthless crap in OT.

 

dissent emboldens the terrorists

 

Ha ha ha ha so true.... I don't think I have seen so many winers before.

 

Just respect each others views and cars. It shouldn't matter if we have restomods, customs or originals they are all mustangs. I don't know about you guys but I joined this forum to gain knowledge and spread knowledge about our hobby. If I wanted to argue I would tell my three year old that she needs to go to the potty. I am a member of two other forums and not once have I seen topics like this. What is the problem with this picture?

There is not one direction we should be going with our cars. We are all individuals and make our own decisions. Respect others and this subject will be done for good. Man, I feel like a 1st grade teacher right now...... sad that it has gotten to this point.

 

What is a restomod?
Who amongst us doesn't fall into this category at some level or another? Whether it is your Pertronix ignition, non-stock one-piece Monte Carlo Bar or Export Brace, radial tires, synthetic oil, halogen headlamps, one-wire alternator or hood scoops,T-5,or fuzzy dice, it is a deviation from how itrolled off of the assembly line. As far as I can tell, there seems to exist a sense of elitism on this boardthatan opinion is somehow more valued and/or othersdevaluedbecause one's car and/or ideas more closely resemble the original "off the assembly line" condition.

 

easttenmotors, I don't know what you think I wrote but you're way off base. I don't have a problem with stockers at all. I'm just making an observation that the other brands have a better quality and more quantity of the modded cars than us Mustang guys. The majority of our modded crew are still looking like they did their cars back in the 80's. At the shows, thats what you seeif not the stockers. That's all bro! I will say after reading these post, it seems the stocker guys have a little chip on their sholder for some reason. No need to get your panties in a bunch if you don't like modded cars. I love all kinds, I would just like to see a better quality of modded Mustangs out there. Maybe I didn't express myself properly in my original post yesterday? To assume your car would draw more attention at a show over mine is a little childish. That's not what its all about friend. Good luck with your car, I'm sure it's a nice piece.

For the record, my original post was about the Modified Mustangs compared to Camaro's, Challengers and other cars at a show I went to.I never said anything aboutstockers against modded Mustangs. Look at the shows, the Chevy and Mopar guys have better quality modded cars than us Mustang guys. That's all guys. Hopefully the stocker guys can relax now.

 

Exactly! Especially for people like NorCalTroy and BlackLX. What happened a long time ago has absolutely nothing to do with this topic, so quit bringing it up.
