Re: who cares if emblems are correct?
Obviously, I'm not concerned.

Re: who cares if emblems are correct?
I say put whatever emblems, badges, or nameplates you want on, just don't try and convince others it's stock. If I come up and ask you about your truck and it's options say I did so and so and decided it's now a --------. Then I say cool, and that's the tune.
My old boss had people argue with what year the pickup was (55 1st series) even though he had the vin decoded and the title, and anybody that knew the trucks would agree 55. That's when you just ignore the know it alls. I like seeing different stuff, it's different.

Re: who cares if emblems are correct?
From what I've noticed here, the reason people pick apart something is usually in response to someone calling something what it's not, so he's asking for it then

Re: who cares if emblems are correct?
its the act of deliberately trying to pass your vehicle off for something that its not is what really gets enthusiasts riled up. like... NOS decals.

Re: who cares if emblems are correct?
Quote:
Same thing is happening with our trucks. These trucks are what they are, and that is why we like them. Whether we restore them, rod them, restify them, modify them, or just use them, it's what we want to do. If you are into restoration, I understand that you are going to see something that isn't concours correct. I may look at your truck and see a run, or some lines that don't line up, or a gap that isn't the same all the way or an emblem with some pitting. But I have learned that I need to keep quiet. I have a buddy who restored Mustangs, and in the process it almost ruined my ability to go to a show and just look and enjoy the cars I saw. I hate being with someone who is constantly judging what they see and unable to simply enjoy the day. If we are going to do what we do, we need to take the time to enjoy it, and offer compliments for the work that is done, the choice of colors, the way the engine sounds, etc. Don't diss someone or what they have, because it makes your stuff look better in your own mind. Bottom line: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
