Re: NEW BUILD - 66 GMC on Roadmaster / Caprice 9C1 Chassis

I can understand a purposeful challenge, but this just seems to be going to the same place but doing it with such unnecessary effort.
It's not like someone is going to say 'cool, it's on a caprice frame.'
But, if it brings you enjoyment, then I guess don't let other's views discourage you.

I do think people will say, "Cool, it's on a Caprice Interceptor frame." I think they will because it's different from the norm. Maybe in the back of their heads, they wonder why we did, but for sure, our police interceptor C10 will be cool.

Now what people have to say about the build is not what's driving me to build it. I just think to get my list of goodies noted above, it would be a lot more expensive and time consuming to do it the normal way.

I guess I'll know the answer to that when I'm done. And, when we do the next one, we'll have the knowledge and experience required to make an educated decision.

Thanks for your input.
