Re: How times have changed }}}}}
I agree with red, these vehicles are antiques now that are difficult to come by and not all of them have survived this far. I have no issues with someone hot rodding a modern vehicle nor would I have back then. The thing that bothers me is that there is only a limited number of them now and each time one is reduced to a hot rod it means there is one less that can ever be original. I don't see why they don't just purchase the sheet metal and chop it up rather than destroying an antique. The biggest problem i have with it is when they do this then put a 350, automatic, tilt column, felt captains chairs and other things from a chevy pickup of the 90's. I have intentions of doing things to my '93 f-350 but none of doing anything irreplaceable to my '34 that wasn't stock. As a side note I did see something similar to this and people do do it which I find to be even more of a shame, on gunbroker a fellow was trying to sell an old Husquvarna double hammer gun which he had chopped the barrels off of and done other things to make it suitable for cowboy action shooting for which I don't understand what was so bad about the long barrels anyways.
