Still, You have to recognize that there is a very large group that follows the current fashionable trend. Where were all of the flat black and primered '50s rods & customs 10 years ago? I did a couple about 12 years ago, and did not recall seeing anything like it since the mid '60s!

I was just "trolling" to see what builders are thinking right now.

All good reasons!!!!! And a reminder of why my shop is closed to the general public and I only do work for repeat customers and referrals!!!!! Getting old does offer certain benefits after all!!!! Anyone who survives in this Hot Rod business to exceed the age of 55 IMO has earned an inalienable right to become very opinionated, totally lacking in social skills, and to view all trends and fads with something between disdain and total contempt!!!!!
