Thread: Do you know the differance between a Hot Rod and a Street Rod?

Tweet

A street rod is what I walk past to go look at a hot rod. Oh, and the only billet parts used on a hot rod will be in the engine, not on it. Minimal bling and traditional all the way. Built with skill, ingenuity and lots of blood, sweat and tears, not with a big check book. My 450 HP daily driver '95 Corvette is hot-rodded but it's not a hot rod. It is a fun, fast, comfortable cruiser and part-time racer. My '30 A will be a hot rod all the way. Fenders? I gave them away as soon as I bought the car....
One hot-rodder's (not intended to be humble) opinion.

Define me........define me...........................have I said that before?

since going thu my first vehicle inspection in b.c. back in 2002,i remember the hoops i had to jump thru! no peep mirrors, keep the fenders! which was
more of a regional thing. side reflectors etc etc

creature comforts you say?, after 4 years driving the 29'er in some pretty nasty weather,yeh i put a heater in it., (was already mandated to have some
form of windshield defroster!)

i consider my machine a hot rod even though whats in a name?
i drive the wheels off of it,i don't trailer it, i even pack tools on the back seat,
mainly cause i got no trunk what a blast,what a rush,
damn are we ever in the (collective) right hobby
