      And you have some people of the hot rod mindset who treat an older car   
   like its a new off the showroom sports car.   
      Way too many things to go wrong, even with a frame off restorations.    
   Such as metal fatti-gue.  Fifty plus year old steel isn't generally as strong   
   as new steel.   
      One guy learned the hard way.   
      There was a vid of a guy in a hopped up '60 Comet who was showing off   
   and crashed into a truck, totaling the car.  The car survived 60 years until   
   some fool got behind the wheel...
