Like I said in my profile, personally, I like stock, but I enjoy looking and appreciate at all the talent and work people put into their custom vehicles. And pure is good but I'm not rigid; when I painted my 53 it's original "coral" colour, I decided to paint the interior a 91 Cadillac metal-flake mauve. It looked good and hey, it's my truck. However, I probably wouldn't have done that if it had not already had a 1963 250 in it when I bought it. My uncle recently gave me his 1974 Ford econoline (60K original miles) which he customized back in the day. Shag throughout, (including on the dash), tear drop windows. It's a hoot- but definitely a cop magnet. New Orleans finest just laid 3 tickets on me the other day, none of which are valid. But I digress. It only has 2 mags (14" 5 lug X 4.5") so looking for more. Also one of the tear drop windows fell out. Looking for one of them (21" long, not 19") if anyone knows where I can get one or get one made.
