Cool pics, I especially like the '37 Ford-those are cool cars (but I like them Hot-Rodded  Wink).

I like the 37 ford. Looks like a mafia car.

Yeah I don't mind them rodded out either, but I definately have ten times the respect for those who took the time to restore a car to original factory, as well as using the original engine and such...

I mean I've see a 37 ford with an automatic transmission, tilt column, power windows, and a killer audio system...sure it was a cool car, but not as cool as one that is restored to original...Smiley

Yeah, I can understand that.

What I really like is kind of half-way in the middle.  I like cars that are built up but look original (minus a couple small things).  Thats what I'm working towards with my car, I want that original look with pro street performance.

I can't really get into cars older than the 50's all rodded out...anything 1950 and over is fair game in my minds eye...
