G'Day All,

Although I have admired Hot Rods (and any other customised cars for that matter) over the years, I never thought of owning one. Well all that has changed. I'm a new member having signed up not more than 23 seconds ago and plan to ask some really basic questions. To prove it here is the first one. I hear rods described as 'chopped and channeled'. I know what 'chopped' means, however, what does 'Channeled' refer to?
