Hmmm. Must be why I don't frequent the place. I like billet parts, my Merc has digital gauges, and I haven't built anything that DOESN'T have IFS in the last 10 years!!!! I like to think of Hot Rodding as progressive, as in each car I build is a little bit nicer then the one before it and the move to digital gauges, IFS, and all the other new technology as improvements to the sport!!!! I was around back in the time a lot of these folks are trying to emulate. It wasn't near as good as they would have you believe!!!!!

I just hope the rat rod thing isn't just an excuse for not wanting to expend the time, effort, and dedication to build a really first class ride. I'm not talking Riddler winners, just a very well done car that the attention to detail is obvious and the fit and finish on the entire car reflects the builder's pride in his ride....
