Same here. I never really thought about "traditional built". I thought they were all built the same, or you had it built. So by some definition, mine is built traditionally. Not a traditional style. I have even heard of a few that will only use period correct tools to construct their cars. I think some go overboard, but it's their deal. You shouldn't run 60 year old tires. If the guys from say 47 were here today, I am pretty sure if they had, or access to, a mig, tig, plasma cutter, cnc machine, I am pretty sure they would use em. Also I am pretty sure they would be stuffing those digital gauges, and probably computer controlled fuel injection in those "Traditional Rods" But with that said, I do like the period correct, no matter what period. It's the nostalgia, and the time warp factor for me. And they were just cool from 45 to 65. Just like some of the rat's are, as they say, SICK.
