Wow that is quite a difference. However, I can't help but feel that test was a waste of a nice car and I'm not talking about the malibu.Me: I don't know how to build a hot rod.
Old Hot Rodder: You ever build a model car?
Me:Yeah...
Old Hot Rodder: Well instead of using glue you weld.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
