Webster's 67 Bel Air Conversion

[PxTx]

At this point in life, I prefer traditional builds just because everywhere I look there seems to be an modern/LS muscle car build and turbos and fuel injection and big wheels...there just feels like an over-saturation of those builds. I understand they are very popular, magazines sponsors are influencing the content to drive sales of their LS products etc.

Since I don't subscribe to magazines any more, I do appreciate Ken's threads and his documentation, craftsmanship and humor. I'm not offended by the build, but I might not click on the thread for several days at a time.

I look forward to seeing an LS build which tries to have a more nostalgic feel. Somebody may one day figure out a way to make the motor look like and older sbc. It wouldn't surprise me if it has been done and I just haven't seen it- I'm sure my taste is in a small minority.

Now since the LS motors make so much hp, I realize the appropriate braking system might not fit within a 15" wheel. I can't help that big wheels are one of my biggest turn offs visually- at least for muscle cars of the 1960's. Cars form the 1980/1990's like the Mustangs Camaros, Buicks etc I am a but more open minded, but I still prefer a period theme over modern ques.

At the end of the day though, I feel Yenko.net is has plenty of the traditional stuff which is harder to find, and enough diversity like Ken's builds for my taste evolve more naturally- what I want rather than when I grew up and the magazines of the 1980's & 1990's heavily influenced my perception of cool.

Not every thread hits a home run with me, but this IS my favorite place on the net. Thanks to everyone who shares their passion here!
