We’re in the process of restoring a ‘68 Super Bee so we’ve been spending a lot of time in muscle car graveyards, surfing car websites and browsing magazines. The contrast between the beauty of old cars and the boring, ugly stuff of today has never been more apparent to me.

Sad. It used to be nothing had more style than an American car. Heck, I’d even prefer a Gremlin over today’s offerings. At least it’s different.

The only bright side to the production of ugly cars is that the restoration market is booming with new replacement parts for older models.

Not all models and not always cheap but available. And the tools are being made for the less than professional restorer, the plasma cutters, shears, etc.
