I always thought it was crazy for the whole argument of it being "butchering" a car to be a drag car. Some drag cars are butchered, some are works of art! Some restorations are "butchered" Some are perfect. The value of the car is in the eye's of the owner and the hell with what anyone else thinks. My American is "Butchered" I don't care! My Ambassador will also be "Butchered". I don't drag race! I like some drag cars. Others I don't. I like soem restorations, Others I don't. The 62 wagon is in need of some detail work, but would make a great starting point for someones work of art! It could have been crushed at a wreckers years ago, at least it is still around to be "butchered" some more!!! :] Bwah,HAH,HAH.
