Theres no right or wrong or standard on what guys want. Its individual taste. The word "Most" probably could be avoided and replaced by "Many". Resto-mods remain a strong trend but its tempered. The stuff that Kindig and Foose do is amazing, outrageous and intended to attract attention. Each incredible build needs to be surpassed by the next build and the TV factor is strong.
Also, how much is the desire for modern components a result of convenience? It sure is easy to log on, go to Jegs, click a few times and have a GM crate in the garage in a week. Morrison frame? Point click, pick your stuff and it will be here before you know it. BTW, I won't click on that crate engine- I build my own. Why incur the ridiculous cost of self-building? Because I will always care more than the guy getting paid to throw one together for some nameless customer.
The hobby will always be about individuality, capability, availability and budget. And like politics guys will always strongly argue their position and complain when someone disagrees.
Even you right? How many times have you taken the opportunity to bash guys running carbs rather than FI?
Its ok, but remember the door swings both ways. There is room at the table for traditional hot rodders, resto modders, restorers and guys running carbs.
