Nice discussion - one point not picked up on is where do the people trying to get into streetrodding get info on how to build a streetrod within their budget. I got a lot of my info, when younger, from the auto mags. Today you pick up a mag & at the age of 20 - 30 you probably do not have the money to build a rod you see being built in the mags.
Will this lead to the decline of the hobby?

I'm looking at this lack of junk yard hot rod parts articles not from my eyes or a lot of us, who can afford to buy the parts in the articles but, from the eyes of the younger generation trying to raise a family & build a streetrod.
