Has a lot of old school hot rodding been lost?
Today there's so many "bought" cars around. Be they finished drive cars or pro built show cars rather than home built. Great if you have the money, or no skills! I can understand it with outright show cars as the required standard is so high today. But I like fabricating and achieving what I can for myself built at home with almost no outside help. I built all these cars over the past 40 years, the ute (last image, still under construction) is my current and final build so it has to be the best! The previous 3 images have all done well at major shows often finishing amongst the top contenders. All were street driven cars other than the roofless wagon as it was unregistrable and built just as a show cruiser!
