We just called them Hot Rods ?

Yep

Yep, basically what they are now. I call my truck a hot rod not a rat.

Looks like it needs more power. A blower may help.

Me too. It's a hot rod to me. If the body was held to the frame with baling wire and I could check the oil through the holes in the firewall I might call it something different.
