Is Hotrodding dead?

Money is a main issue, how many people do you know that can just write a check for 15k or more for an old restored hot rod but they can finance a new hemi challenger. Cars are being crushed as fast as people can haul them across a scale, not everyone has a way to store and work on old cars and there are zoning issues in cities directed at old vehicles if they are unoperable for any amount of time. Me, I love the old stuff. If certain parts aren't available I fix or fabricate new ones with my dad, another old hot rodder. Nothing is impossible with a little imagination and a welder.
