Benifit of stock/clean apperance

I'm trying to keep this tech, although it hardly is. Just trying to make a point that sometimes you can benifit from a "stock" (or at least mostly stock in my case) appearance.

The Georgia F-body Association had a "Spring Fling" get together, and SpeedVision's "American Muscle Car" was there, and they shot some footage of my car, since it has a mostly stock looking 305 TPI. Will I be on TV? Probably not, but I'm honored that I was considered.

GMT,

Looking stock is O.K. - only WE know what is under the rocker covers, and we're not telling...

I prefer to keep my car looking as stock as possible. Good luck Bernard, maybe we'll see you on SpeedVision.
