I had a similar thought last week when I read the article. Mine was a bit more positive. I think they meant that the heavy mods you have seen on, lets say street rods are coming around to the muscle cars. This hobby is really a contest of who can out do the other. SO the laundry list of mods needs to get longer and longer for some people to compete. Or think that is what they have to do to compete.
Our mentality is to not try and really mess up what ever made the original design so popular when some one modifies a certain model car. So people can't transition a rendering to reality, Some people start with an ugly concept, some people just have bad taste.
But at the end of every day, different styles are what make the world go round. There is a girl for every guy and an ass for every seat. Just look at some ugly guy or gal and think some where there is some one who is excited to come home to that ugly mug. Cars are the same way. As long as the customer is happy and its not your friends car you have to act like their car is so cool, when its not.
Plus every builder has a different style and most customers are drawn to that build for some reason. If they are local its probably the fact they do quality work and if they are long distance its usually because they have seen a few cars that build has done and they want some thing with that style.
But good Lord Almight there are some funky looking cars that get built. I wish I could post some of the stuff my friends have txt or PM'ed me on social media over the years.
