While you write you don't care about Hot Rods here's a fact. There was Hotrodders well before there was restorer's. Many restored cars previously led a life first saved by a Hot Rodder that eventually was restored back to original.

Case I point a certain restored 1932 Ford roadster acquired from the Ford V-8 foundation was saved by a Hotrodder in its previous life this allowed it to survive and then eventually be restored to its original condition. I have personally come across many restored Fords which had been Hot Rodded previously obviously saved by some Hot Rodder.

One last point Hot Rods are built to drive that's the best part heck I only have over 100,000 miles on my little old Hot Rodded Deuce roadster always powered by Ford flathead V-8 blocks.
