I think that is all that matters, if you like it go for it!
It seems that every magazine article lately delights in pointing out that
most Panteras are modified, as if that fact was somehow lost on us...duh!
Are we not the generation of Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, Legos, Model Cars (
built it 1 of 5 ways), Hot Wheels (design your own track), G.I. Joe ( dress
him like you want ), Playdough, etc. We were raised NOT to accept the status
quo.
First thing I did with my little Red wagon was paint it Blue.
Who wants to look like everybody else
"Ooooh that's a Red Ferrari 308, say ...did you put in period Coco floor
mats...nice".

LEMMINGS!
