Im all for building safe rods, I dont care for people who build them purposely rough. I cant stand people who try to make their car a "beater" and age it to look older. No im merely into building in the style and spirit of the old days and not into the purposely dangerous and badly built cars for the "shock" value. I believe they should be built at the best of your abillities. Though I was running my dodge around without front brakes for a while but even I had to agree that the frame was garbage and no brakes was just stupid.
