Thread: Ignition under the hood

I just wanted to be diffrent than others and me and my dad had talked of converting his with a 350 and a muncie 4 spd but my moms did not like the idea as his is in MINT condition and is worth over 5 grand as is. My next project will probably be a 30's ford or chevy chopped and channeled. I never said I didn't like a 33 ford hot rod, I just didn't want to build it as my first hotrod. I just happened to have a fairly nice project sittin in my driveway. I wanted to save it from the crusher because that's where my dad was going to send it after it was stripped. I couldent let that happen so I bought it from him with a bad torn appart motor and started researching the conversion. In my mind a true hotrod is a 20's-40's car with a big engine and ither a hot paintjob or a classic restorod paintjob, This being My mercedes Half-rod ( big engine, nice paint, past 1950 styling ) It itself does not define me as the future of hotrodding as it is not a hotrod just a half- rod or custom cruzier. I am afraid that other people in my generation ( not me ) will start considering crap-jap tuners as hotrods.
