Am I the only one who hates when nicely restored cars are turned into hot rods and lowriders?
Get a reproduction body or at least something rusty that needs to be fixed up.
I wish I could shoot these people and get away with it.
old cars are shit in just about every possible way
Im ok with improvement
the only thing that bothers me when people restore old cars is when they stick nigger wheels on them.

Reminder: Converting useless 20s vehicles into hot rods dates back to the 40s, is a youth culture your great grandpa may have participated in and is a more important element of Americana than the original cars.
why do you care? restore a car and don't hot rod it if it bugs you so much

This desu, dudes in the 50's fucked up cars from the 30's so instead of fucking up a car from the 30's in 2016 fuck up a car from the 90's. Its like destroying a piece of history, that was around when WW2 started and was parked somewhere or was driving when Germany capitulated. Go hotrod a miata

True my grandfather was 17 when he rolled his first 32 ford coupe racing some other kid in his Chevy
I dont have a problem with fixing up a old Model A, giving it a new coat and a modern engine but if you sawzaw the roof off to impress the local baby boomers theres a special place in hell for people like you

Nothing stopping you sticking a crate v8 in some rustbucket and heading to Pendine.

>heading to Pendine.
not being in Britbongistan does
but in all seriousness, the main issue, other than the lack of scene for it, is there there really aren't much cars from the usual eras that are used for traditional hot-rodding.
making one from a 2CV or a Trabant could be gloriously retarded though

Boomers, man.
...and that Chip Foose motherfucker.
>>14636071
Yeah, but now unmolested 20s cars are rare as fuck

Yea mid-20th century euro cars aren't really the ideal candidates for hotrods without popping a shell over a custom chassis.
And we're only one eurotunnel/ferry ride away.
