I can't imagine you're referring to me. I've had Model A hot rods constantly since 1958 and have driven 1000s of miles on the street plus set El Mirage and Bonneville records with them. Nothing wrong with learning something about how they were originally built.
I have a weird addition to early production parts. It started out by collecting early 32 production parts, but later I started collecting 28 AR stuff too. I have a pickup that I will build as a hotrod (if I live long enough), that I plan to use as many AR parts as I can find. I have a great front crossmember, front wishbone, grille, at least one hood side, and one front fender. But, I plan on cutting the mount off the crossmember, splitting the wishbone, and probably not even using the fenders. I too have seen the overzealous restorers, and my pickup would be their worst dream.
