A good spirited discussion is great, flame jobs aren't and this is getting close.

Please !!!!

There was no offense intended,.... however, we should all consider where we personally are on a certain subject before we call others out on the same thing.

I have friends that fit in both categories, very rich collectors and very low dollar builders, the one common thread that brings all levels of Hot Rodders together is there love of Hot Rods and Hot Rodding.

I have helped first time builders with advice to build a safe car, and always encouraged them to build the car they see in there mind, not what everyone else thinks they should build. If there vision of the perfect Hot Rod is a 50's style highboy that has been done over and over again, If that's what they want, Thats what they should build, no matter how many others almost just like it are on the road now. If they want to build a 36 Chrysler Airflow sectioned with a raised top,..... Have at it,.. just make it safe.

On the other side I have been in peoples homes and garages that I couldn't afford the doormat for,.... If they have found there fortune somewhere else, but have there Hot Rod professionally built or restore a historical Hot Rod, thats great !.

I am really into Hot Rods and have been as long as I can remember, I don't care who you are , where you came from, how much money you do or don't have, where you live, or what your vision of the perfect Hot Rod is, If were both gear heads,... we will probably get along, unless you start trashing someone else's Hot Rod vision because it doesn't fall in line with your own.

Sorry guy's I am usually not this long winded or opinionated, but on a forum dealing with a true passion of mine I would be remiss, if I didn't say anything.

*Once again,... If I said something that offended any of you I am truly sorry,
and offer a heartfelt apology, please keep in mind this is only my opinion*
