There are at least four schools of thought I have recognized here and in the field on Panteras.
1) modify everything to the owners personal desire with no consideration of what the car is or was
2) upgrade the car to what the owners interpretation of what the car would be now if it was currently produced
3) make the car a "day 2" car. Modify it to what it would have been "in the day" just after the car was delivered new
4) stock. No mods. Original air in the tires if you can get some.
I'm kind of a day 2 guy with a little leeway towards making the car more dependable with best technology available now.
