While I do like the "keeping it stock" approach, I'm always intreged by the
inginuity of list members and non-list members
going with all of the engine swaps, the interior galley design ideas, the
adaptations for stereo speakers/head units.   It's
amazing (nod to the late Huell Howser) what people come up with a wealth of
points of view and no one to tell them it
cannot be done.

I also give kudos to those that address the stock maintenance issues and
the proper way to do the work as well as the
correct materials to use.

Now if I can get my hands on a donor vehicle for a rediculously low ball
bid so I can swap out some parts!
