Maz said it best... build what YOU like, you are building the car for YOU.

In my case...after having a 68 camaro in high school/college and always wanting a 69RS (a friend had a real nice example), at this stage in life, that is what I am building...it so happens that these are crazy-popular, but it's not something that I think about. I built a 1960 Cadillac with my Dad, because we both liked that particular car, no other reason...

A friend of mine is one of these very "contrarian" dudes, he automatically HATES anything that could be considered even a little bit "popular", in any way. He will start off liking a given song, or a movie for example, but if he starts hearing that song a few times on the radio or something, or a buzz gets going about it, say the movie wins some awards, etc... it's automatically no good. Same with books, if it's on the NY times bestseller list, it can't possibly be any good... LOL
We get a real kick out of him...
