Very good point. It is just much more satisfying in the long run to have a car that is authentic and done right. Restoration is not cheap and ends up costing the same whether you do a "tribute" car or the real deal. If what you have to work with isn't quite what you really want to own then you may want to seriously consider selling your current project and finding an alternative one before any serious time and money gets committed.
