If 99% of all the Hot Rods are Chevy powered then what year does a vehicle have to be not to be considered a Hot Rod when a conversion is in order. What I mean by this is this, I have been around long enough to know that the Chevy engine is the choice of many more builders then the tiny percentage of Ford and Mopar powered Hot Rods and I have seen tons of Chevy powered Fords, Plymouths, Dodges as well as Allards, Austin Healeys and any number of any car to be thought of yet, in which year does all this Chevy powered stuff end and restoration or custom begin?
And on a different note, anyone ever hear of Bill Frick, he was an engine guy out of Long Island in the late 40's and 50's who basically was the first to install Caddy engines into Studebakers and Fords coining the terms Studelacs and Fordalacs and although very few may disagree, it just isn't so as Bill was the man.
