Would rather have original material

Of course everything once old can be done with new more modern materials, for instance in clothing there is much more breathable material than what Shelby speced but then it's not a reproduction done in the spirit of the original. For instance, I like Cobra 427 replicas with aluminum bodywork because they are just one step closer to the DNA of the originals. Of course there are vendors with carbon fiber bodywork that weighs much less but what's the point when us retro-tuned guys are trying to get our time machines dialed in on going back to that magic year 1965....
