I guess each generation has their preferences in rods. I am a 50s and 60s rodder but I can appreciate the incredible performance that the latest generation are getting from those "ricer racers". And when I pull into the 7-11 in my 19ft. '65 Bonnie with the big 421 rumblin', I get a lot of attention from those boys (& girls) too. So I guess a rodder is a rodder is a rodder......Frank in Virginia
