it all started when young guys low on funds built their cars with what they had or could find used.Back in the early days it was common to see a deuce hi boy in original faded black paint with body sections repaired and in primer but otherwise in good repair.
What little money they had was spent on the engine and drivetrain.They were modified and usually ran and drove great.
This was how it all started.

I agree being an old fart! Yes driving down the road in something fast and cool was the first order of business!!

Too many people want a project to "take apart" and make their baby perfect, 15 years later it can still be a pile of parts! Then there is the guy that makes their baby perfect, either they did the work or paid it all done, then they never drive it for fear of a scratch on their investment, or take it to a car show, and decide screw this, and then they want a car to drive and enjoy and screwed there again!!!!
The old car hobby is many things to man people, maybe hotrodding is really the foundation of it all? Certainly is the history of it all.
