In the early days of hot rodding, there were guys putting big engines from big cars into vehicles that they had no business powering. Flathead V8′s, Zephyr transmissions, multiple carb’s (sometimes even hooked up!), and quick change rear ends were all the rage. Each hot rod builder wanted to be faster, lower, smoother, and more custom than the next guy. Car customizing was pushing the limits of what could safely be driven on the street. As cars evolved so did the hot rodding scene.
Muscle cars came and went and so did the days of factory emissions parts stealing your horsepower. What is a hot rod? Who is still customizing cars and is it the same style as it was several decades ago? Has everything been done?! Is hot rodding only hot rodding if it is an old car? American? Foreign? Gosh, so many tough questions.
I feel like if you are modifying your car in a way that other people aren’t doing, don’t like, or don’t understand, you are probably hot rodding.
What’s your definition of Hotrodding? Who is doing it?
