SBC's in everything. If you are not going to use the original engine please put in an engine with some class and imagination, don't follow the crowd. Rod

Re: O.T. Biggest Pet Peeve In pre 1953...
I guess I am not disturbed with a lot of mechanical modifications you see on old iron as long as it is neat and well put together. However, I do have a big pet peeve especially with old cars. It is the all too frequently seen bizarre color and color combinations that only Salvador Dalí could be comfortable with. I cannot help but wonder what some of these people are smoking.

While I can appreciate the engineering I don't care for the end product.

Next time you're at a store with a magazine section, check out HOT ROD Deluxe. It's a new following of old period hot rods. Lots of Gassers which I loved since I was little.

Re: O.T. Biggest Pet Peeve In pre 1953...
I don't necessarily think people are criticizing other's rides so much as just expressing their opinion on what they like or don't like on a classic old car.
If they were saying "that car has poor bodywork" or "that paint wasn't done very well", to me is criticizing. Saying I like a Ford engine in a Ford car is just an opinion, not a critique. Just because I think you are entitled to an opinion dosn't mean I agree with it. If everone liked the same thing Baskin Robbins wouldn't have 33 flavors. |

Yuck 80s-90s steeringwheels, pretty sure there are other wheels (better looking) that meet regulations in my country.
