Thread: Modern frame under old truck - how to register

That sounds terrible. I wonder what all the green energy/climate change initiatives are going to do to our hobby? The next generation might be stuck with figuring out how to retrofit electric motors in their classic cars.��

My grandson is part of this new generation and he swears he will never buy another newer vehicle. His 06 Mustang is fairly reliable but is a major PITA to work on. He could care less about gas mileage, really warms my heart. He is presently rebuilding a Muncie 4 speed to replace the slush box n my 76 Vette which will be his when I pass. So there is some hope.

Man, with all this digital currency talk going on. That is how I'd think they'd kill the classic car hobby. Who knows how far all of that will get. I don't want to derail this thread so I'll leave it at that.

I work on new and old stuff every day at work. Then work on newer diesel outside of work. I'm about over that. Keeping the old stuff going is much more satisfying even when there are problems.
