Restoration vs. modification
Ok, I'm pretty sure I'm right on this one, but I'd like to be positive :-P
Restoration would be like if you took a '78 corvette and brought it back to life, EXACTLY how it was sold in '78
modification would be like, if you took a 78 and put a 4barrel carb and a bigger engine newer rims(just giving examples)
Right?

Tom10167, here's a thread worth reading:

It seems as if there is some room to modify while maintaining a corect restoration if you chose to go that route.

Re: Restoration vs. modification (wireless guy)
If I go that route, heh heh heh....
If I had driving experience, I would buy a rwd car, if I had money, time, even my own garage to do this, I might restore a car, after I knew how to work on cars :-P I'm just a curious punk teenager that drives my pimped out escort(wagon) once i get a license
