New age hot rod
So the roots of hot rodding in my opinion starts by getting a really light car or truck shoving the biggest motor you can into it. Now mine may not be a T-bucket, a muscle car, or a little 30's coupe, but this is what I've got. I took an old 1991 Eagle Talon (same car as a Plymouth laser or mitsubishi eclipse) that I owned in highschool, and decided I wanted to convert it to rear wheel drive. (I was still stationed in the states at the time so I had the ability to work on it some)

So I gutted the car and pulled the motor to start.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
