[Frank The Plumber]

Yes I did read your follow up post, and If I worded the post I made in a way that made you feel as if I were upset with you personally, that is not the case.
While many may argue the differences between a rat rodder, a hot rodder, a street rodder or a purist and argue over how parts were acquired in my neck of the woods there is something that is far worse to be, a spectator or an on looker, a guy with no car, or the guy who's car is never done. I've built a few cars in my day, some that were not so dependable, some that I wish stopped better, some that I wish were faster, some that I wish had AC, so when I built my latest one I put all of the previous problems behind and built a safe fast comfortable car, I encourage everyone to build a safe fast comfortable car, put any parts on it that you like and not to worry about what anyone thinks. The definition by popular belief is that a hot rod is any modified vehicle, so we are all hot rodders because we all modify our vehicles. Lets start giving the onlookers grief, they give plenty of it to us.
