hot rod
badratt,
hot rodding is just that, hot rodding, there is no set way of doing things. back before the internet HOT RODDING didnt have forums for everything, how did guys get those kool hot rods? they built them! they built them on the cheap! by MAKING THING WORK THEY COULD FIND! there wasnt ebay or r.r.r. or the ..h,%$b, or any other major highway link to get the perfect answer.
you went to the junk yard you looked how the factory did it. and applied it, some worked some didnt.
you went to car shows and looked how other guys did it.
YOU LOOKED IN YOUR WALLET AND.. knew how you could afford to do it.
making it safe was the priority as well as making it cheap.
hotrodding was and always will be, MAKING WHAT YOU CAN WORK!
yeah there are tons of parts now and if some people buy em and (SNAP) together a hotrod, thats there way of building it,. and expect to payed bux to do it
i guess what i'm trying to say is, THERE ARE TONS OF HOW TOO BOOKS AND FORUMS OUT THERE,,,,, BUT IN THE END THEY ONLY TEACH YOU ONE THING.......... HOW TO READ!
R&D ask all the questions you want from builders but in the end, YOUR TRIAL AND ERROR are what you will find to be the best from you hotrod build.
nobody has all the answers(especially me) and there is no PERFECT setup.
SO take a break, then, take a deep breath, now take some pics of setups you like, go home and try to build it. tackle one thing at a time, it will eventually look like a hotrod, YOUR HOTROD. GOODLUCK.
