When you building/renovating a vintage car to become a runner/race car.
Where do you draw the line using new parts like wheels/motor or/and fabricating new parts? Is it still vintage if you are keeping the old design or with you one design?

For me, that's actually a very compelling question. Considering my own cars, I would say the Zebra Optima is pretty much 'vintage'. Other than titanium turnbuckles and modern ESC & battery, the rest is pretty much period-correct. The other two cars are so heavily modified, with parts from more modern cars and fabricated parts, that I couldn't call them 'vintage' anymore. But the bottom line is, they're still Optimas and the chassis' are still distinct and recognizable as Optimas.Hcp22 wrote:This question maybe has been discussed before, but I like your view on this matter any why.

Okay, you can’t call them vintage, but can you run them in a vintage race? Or would that be cheating?Coelacanth wrote:For me, that's actually a very compelling question.
