GM tilt columns. It's one thing to buy an aftermarket "GM-styled" column, but to rip one right out of a van or a Firebird and shove it in a nice car is unforgivable.
There's a REALLY nice '40 coupe in my area. Sheridan blue with a red interior. Beautiful car EXCEPT for the 1980's Firebird column in it with the Firebird wheel still on it! You have brought great shame upon yourself, sir. |

The chunky turn signal/tilt levers for one. The aftermarkets are a little bit easier on the eye.

Can someone tell me why they do it? What's wrong with a Ford unit.

How about "top chopping" original cars.....hard to put back with just a wrench.

Personally, a part of me dies when I see a 350 Chevy in place of where a nice flatty used to be.

Torque tube rear ends.
They may look cool and are traditional but they are just a pain in the neck to work on. An open drive shaft would have been one of Henry's better ideas. Last edited by 19Fordy; 07-16-2015 at 01:58 PM. |

Rat Rods- I am NOT talking about cars that are mechanically simplified, minimalist or even that lack chrome and shiny paint. I am talking about vehicles based upon useable parts that are needlessly butchered. The tasteless addition of 6 foot tall shifters sticking out of the roof, brass headboards for grills, sewer lids for wheels , etc, etc. I like creativity and simplification but attaching any piece of trash within reach to a vehicle is neither creative or functional. A pox on them!

Just wish they had pull out shafts and safety hubs (like later stuff) One of my gripes is late rear end where an early Ford one is ment to be. Obviously my opinion, Martin. |
