FUN!  yup, a neat little three letter word, and don't anyone try to tell 
me what I should do to have some of it.

I've worked both sides of the ailse in the same shop -- full antique 
restorations and full custom creations, and a lot of ground inbetween -- 
no one is right, and no one is wrong, as long as they pay the bill at 
least -- each person can choose, and until you get to the rule section 
of some Senior Concours, where only the judges and owners really care, 
the public thinks they are all fancy old cars and are happy to observe 
them.  It brings a smile to their face as they remember their good old 
days, and could care less whether that screw is cad plated or chromed.

Put a smile on your face this holiday season, and a bit of joy in your 
heart, and share this passion you so are proud of joyously!  Don't just 
stand here and bicker about it!
