    This is actually a fairly good place for info. Its a little too heavy on street rods and seems like most look down on what Id consider true "hot rods" aka "rat rods".

    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.

    hot rod, rat rod, classic, street machine.. its all good to me as long as someone put in the wrench time to build what ever style warms their heart. I myself can't decide which style or era I lean to the most.

    No I wish I just moved from California to North Carolina, and I have not had time to get my shop set up and get things organized so it doesnt look like an old buick sitting in a field, once I get thigs aranged I will be able to tak pics and get them posted. My girlfriend is a photgrapher and I should have a few pics topost as she loves to take pis all day long she spends almost as much money in film as I do parts...lol
