To be or not to be (pro-street)

[Dan]

Looking for some opinions to set me at ease about the direction of my car. Been working on the thing for a number of years now, and when I started with the car I knew what I wanted; a fast, fun and cool looking street car. I went pro street because I grew up in the 80's I guess, but more because this type of car offers everything that a real hot rod is to me. It has a hot motor, fat tires, and drives on the street. Now it seems like every month I get my issue of the hot rod rag, they talk about how bad pro- street is and how great "pro touring" is. Should I go back and rebuild my car because it wouldn't be acceptable on power tour? I think not! It would be a shame if all older styles died every time someone had a new idea. There would be no more rat rods or white walls would there? I'm keep'n it fat and I hope others do too. Would be a cold day down there when I blow my retirement on a set of 20's or even 17's.

I'm with you Dan & Dave. Build em' the way you like em'.
Back in the old dayz the old cars 48 er 49 and older were called street rods the new ones were called street machines. Technically I think they had to have a certain number of mods to qualify. Somebody out there can tell you exactly what the NSRA NSMA rules are. I was under the impression for a car to qualify as a pro street it needs tubs, roll cage, big power. Zuuumbody out dare got the scoop on pro street?
I like seen' cars like yours. Brings back fond memories. I wouldn't change it. My 2¢

Dan Don't go by what you read. You've got a good l.ooking vehicle. I've seen pro streets at different shows and I think they look great. You build your car to what you want
