Thread: Hello fellow wrench turners

Tweet

I was just scrolling the internet looking for parts for one of my projects when I came across this web site, and cool looking coversation topics.. I just wanted to say hello and I look forward to talking with you. As I love every aspect of working on cars I am sure this is the place for me

This is actually a fairly good place for info. Its a little too heavy on street rods and seems like most look down on what Id consider true "hot rods" aka "rat rods".

Im all for building safe rods, I dont care for people who build them purposely rough. I cant stand people who try to make their car a "beater" and age it to look older. No im merely into building in the style and spirit of the old days and not into the purposely dangerous and badly built cars for the "shock" value. I believe they should be built at the best of your abillities. Though I was running my dodge around without front brakes for a while but even I had to agree that the frame was garbage and no brakes was just stupid.

hot rod, rat rod, classic, street machine.. its all good to me as long as someone put in the wrench time to build what ever style warms their heart. I myself can't decide which style or era I lean to the most.

I leaned toward the mid 70's look and I still kind of like it.. These guys here know what their doing and don't mind sharing the info..They have helped me out on a time or too George

Welcome To Club HotRod knuckledragger. Hope ya enjoy the site.
Wouldn't happen to have a pic of that '55 Buick? Love the looks of 'em. A friend of mine in highschool had a beautiful custom '55.
