I will disagree with your outlook that the kids aren't into building cars. There are dozens upon dozens of car websites loaded with young men playing with cars. And watch the drag strips around you and there's pleanty of young folk there too.

They may not be playing with 30's or 40's / 50's etc.. but they are playing with what is cheap and available to them. And some of the ricers around my city will put a spankin' on my ride and any muscle car I ever had in my lifetime!

My dream car build??? I haven't a clue, when I see it, I'll know!!
