I drive my Nomad to the store daily if it's not raining... and I drive it anywhere and everywhere weather permitting.
I owned a couple NCRS 97 point big block 'Vettes and drove 'em to Illinois... Vegas... wherever and whenever. If they get a little beat - it's just an excuse to re-do them. I re-did one Corvette (this big block tri power '67) 3 separate times. It's the price you pay for enjoyment... and the real expense is the first time around. The next times you're just freshening.
