Just a matter of taste in my opinion and the extent of modification of a resto-mod. Some a nice and tastefully done; others are just over the top.

Just another example... met a guy with a 1960 Fulie and he has about $120k into the car. Looking to sell it so he put the money into... you got it, a resto-mod of the same year 1960. Trend is shifting to resto-mod based upon what I have seen locally here in NC.

No matter what it keeps the hobby alive and well, by feeding interest in our beloved C2 line. Picture of my resto mod below. Notice how the strip extends through the rear windshield!
