Mr docwra as below my point is the s13 is MODERN day hot rodding, you, rich and ricky told me point blank its not for XYZ reasons be it it doesn't look like it or its got to be a drag car etc etc My point for the **** knows how many time ive said it, a Hot Rod isnt defined by a certain era or 'scene' its in the spirit of it, What the guys in the 50s did the guys in the 2000's are doing the same just different hardware Im sure after posting it so many times it must have sinked in by now what my point is. hot rod verb gerund or present participle: hot-rodding 1. modify (a vehicle or other device) to make it faster or more powerful. "I was told the program did an even better job of hot-rodding hardware" 2. drive a hot rod. "as a teenager he preferred a steady wage and time to go out hot-rodding" you alot in this thread have contradicted your self on what a hot rod is its a car built for straight line speed with no styling involved for bargin money Then you say you cant say a chip foose 300k sema hot rod isnt a hot rod ive not said once any car isnt a hot rod, ive question some of your statements with your own statements as they dont match.

Post #56 ........... Quite. Unless you are counting anything modified with a sit up and beg body as a "Hot Rod" for me they dont qualify' date=' they are chequebook showcars that will probably never see a drag strip. If you are trying to tell me these cars [b']are[/b] "Hot Rods", along with the 240SX, the 240Z and that Jeep that has clearly had 1000's spent on it then when not just classify everything with a cherry bomb and an air filter as a rod too? So what about Ian and Wassos cars then, or are you deliberately avoiding the question because you arent even sure what case you are trying to make now? ok as you really want to push the wasso and ian car, Seeing as i have said traditional hotrods are built with out styling involved all along ill let you decided if there cars look @*!# or not that s13 isnt built to 'look cool' its made to go fast period nothing else are you trying to say that wasso and bizz cars are cheap bangers with go fast engines? as my point is already out there so not sure why you keep asking and going to your first post in this thread "Oh, and just as an aside, do a Google Search for Hot Rods ........... the result seems pretty conclusive to me." well google shows cars by the foose etc, so can you be a bit more constant with your view as it started as what google says a hot rod is, then it can be anything aslong as it s a drag car built by someone in a shed for peanuts with no styling mods something that mr foose doesnt build , and then in your last post one of the most famous drag type builds a Gasser (sit up and beg body) which is built for drag racing now isnt a hot rod can you make your mind up please ?

Define cheap. Done to the tightest budget possible, ideally at home using your own labour, secondhand parts sourced yourself and a bit of ingenuity. Like we used to modify cars back in the day before your Garage D's and Norris Designs existed. No that I want to answer Steves Q but if Wasso was doing all the work himself, forgot about any non functional styling mods, had sourced a less expensive engine (SBC rather than LS) then chucked a homebrew supercharger on it Id be a lot more inclined to think of that as a rod. ok so by your own addmission this is not a hot rod, as it, has non functional styling mods, its had a engine built by a shop all the bodywork done by a shop, expensive custom made wheels So by your own rules anything built by chip foose Boyd coddington steve darnell to name a few ARE NOT HOT RODS as there built in the shop there no expense spared builds for customers

if you took an original hotrodder not some retired old man dropping 100k from his pension IF you could take the original guy take him through time to now and say right build a hot rod on your budget he would be buying a cheap rwd coupe and putting a Cheap easy power v8 in it he wouldnt not be going the scrap yard buying a 3 window bodyshell for 10k then building a car for 80k as he wouldnt have the budget, if that make sense the young people of the 1950s Built there original rods from hand me downs from there parents and made them fast they didnt care about there looks So mr foose might be building Custom show hot rods but hes not building tradition ones NO custom candy paintjobs NO full chrome chassis NO custom 1 off billet aluminium wheels NO Custom Fitted and trimmed interiors They where just normal 20 year old cars with modified engines to go faster Bit like the s13 with its original paint and unpainted arches with a v8 Go fast is the 1 goal same as they had Also looks what in the National Hot Rod Museum in america, a drift car and a CRx

We did August and it was the most painful experience. Even leaving the villa to get into the vehicle was a dash and run to the driveway. One had to get in the vehicle, get it running, AC ON! Then dash back to the Villa to cool down again. It was truly mental. They say that once the thunder comes, it rains for 3 minutes and dries up the humidity is reduced. That's a load of Bull, it didn't make any difference what so ever. Sounds like nigeria then

if your car is on stock wheels and stock bodywork and ride height keep it grey/silver maybe black if your going random colours your going to need the wheels ride height and body mods to make it look in place
