Eric, right on.
Some do not have the pride factor.
They have the $$ to get there.
Building is not their thing.
For them the new truck can be it.
Don't get me wrong, the Southern truck is a beauty, but my $$ can be
much less and greater enjoyment.
They know everyone will not buy, that is why they are in low build #.
But for some when going to cruises or shows, they will say it was
built by them, when in reality they just signed a check.
I know this is not all.
I know some that get mad if they go to a cruise or show and do not
win a trophy.
To me that isn't what it is about. I do not build for trophies, I
build for ME.
That is why we have all the many styles, different folks.
The SBC is an example of everything being the same nowadys.
I also, know that we would not have some of the quality pieces to
use today if the prof. shops or vendors did not exist. While I build
all I can at home, I just haven't tried to get into doing full
upholstery. I will on the next one.
And if done right, a good primer paint can be super.
Enough rambling.
For me ' I like Ole Style.
Just my Thoughts,
Walt
