What's with all these titles and definitions???? Build what ya like, and call it your car. If it doesn't fit someone else's catagory by definition or appearance, who cares???? What hot rodding started as is a guy taking what he had and building what he wanted by whatever means he had available. As far as "educated opinions" the only one that counts is your own. If you have $100,000 to spend on it, fine. If you have $1,000.00 to spend on it, that's fine too. I have never and will never build a car for the sole reason of meeting someone else's standard of what my car should look like.

I don't see why anyone thinks they have the right to bad mouth someone else because they did or did not spend to much money or it does or does not have billet parts. I like anyone's car if they did the majority of the work, the ideas, and the planning themselves. They only ones I can't get excited about are the ones built with a big check book and the owner did absolutely none of the work himself. Hot rodding started out as and should always remain an expression of one's own ideas, concepts, and abilities. Dare to be different, and to hell with the catagories and stereotyping.
