Yes.

One day my wife came out to the garage, & found me standing there, leaning against the workbench, staring at the car.
"I tought you were working out here..... but really you`re just HIDING!"she said.
I replied......"No, I`m PLANNING.....very important, & very different."

Been doing that for 43yrs! Orig owner 78' S/A L82 with working A/Cond,8-track player & maybe 40 good tapes left,keeping full long necks around is another matter,lol. And yep,something about the various fender-flared peaklines with low sculpturing surround,looks good from any angle along with gorgeous interior full of gauges made with two people in mind...........Hdal
