    This is the problem I have with most who claim to be "Traditional Rodders". They want to nit pick about a weird engine swap in this era, but back in the day they're building rods from, what did those guys do? They swapped odd ball stuff they had laying around or found cheap and built a car. I love different. It's hard to do these days. I say do it and show it off!

    That is funny right there. Here's another pet peve of mine...... This Rockabilly thing, was it seriously like they portray it these days? It seems they way over do it these days. Or is it just me?

    Give me an example of what you mean and I'll try to answer, I started collecting 45's in '57.
