Re: street rod future?

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I guess I will throw my two pennies in the pile. I really enjoy a
stock restoration, but if there were several in a row at a show,  I
would soon get a little bored with them and hurry on to see the cars
that have been modified to some extent. ie: a 65 Plymy with a 63 front
end on it or a more door Dodge with a 318 and two fours with wooden
carb spacers!  8-)   How about a 64 Dodge with the front end higher
than the rear and a Thundwerbolt hood blister and an engine
compartment so stark, you gotta look close to see if it is
electrically wired.  No chrome.  No trophys for me!

Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person. That is, email your parts/car transactions and negotiations, as well as other personal messages, only to the intended recipient. Do not just press "reply" and send your email to everyone using the general '62-'65 Clubhouse public email address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine-tune the content signal to Mopar topic. Thanks!
