HotLines
Realist - Free Thinker
I just want to say that one of the reasons my Signet looks as it does is because I am a Hot Rodder and not a purist of any kind. I love drag racing as much as the next guy, I love design, technology and the fact that I need no ones permission to change what it is that I want to change whether it be an engine or my own look which I am changing today by removing my foot long beard so I will not be profiled by authorities and looked down upon by others and I love that I can get this done in this country as well without asking permission. I live rurally where most all vehicles are appreciated whether foreign or domestic and when I go to car meets, not one person drives what I drive, so it's easy to find my car and other persons who have Chevys or Fords still appreciate what I drive and I've done. Yet when I come to this site, I find many purists who believe nothing should be modified so to speak unless you're using genuine Chrysler parts which to me ends one's journey into the realization of what modified and hot rodded vehicles are all about. To restore one's early A body back to stock original condition means no stereo as they hadn't had stereo in 64,65 and 66, not even CD's, but that is just the beginning. I like most all vehicles and I love modifications as long as they work. I am not a follower in any way shape or form as the HEI in my vehicles are all one piece coil in cap and work beautifully. The Signet's transmission is from a 62 BB which most here weren't even a sparkle in their mother's eye in 62, yet tell me that's impossible to run a BB trans against a small block without doing any investigation on their own as to why it may fit. I cannot tell you how much it bothers me to see persons suppress their own talent and their own knowledge just to fit in a group which is dying off, hell, if I wanted a stock original vehicle which was worth its weight in gold, I'd be sitting in a 32 Hispano Suiza which were build for kings.
The young guns as some call them are being brought to their knees with what it costs to shame them into believing all the BS in regards to building our outdated vehicles with outdated drive trains as if this is the only way to go because so and so says so while Ma Mopar deserted us to marry and divorce her German husband and just married an Italian and the cost to us believers has skyrocketed. I'll bet you that there are more young guns who just want to be accepted here when they do something they feel is good rather than spend their entire life trying to fit in with a few deadbeat know it all's. Sure there are those who know more than the next guy in regards to these engines, these engines are older than they are and are being replaced with new technology that will surpass what we have today in every way.
If I didn't have a life to live, I'd have a lot more to say...
