<VV> DID ANYONE SEE AMERICAN HOTROD TONIGHT? no corvair, or very little

[Mel Francis]

I didn't see the show, but I have seen this happen right in front of me
a few years ago, while working at a local body/custom shop here in
Wisconsin.
The customer bought a FULLY restored '29 Model T pickup and brought it
in for all the regular hot rod excesses, giant V8, lowering, huge
wheels, tubbing, etc. Some people thought it looked real good when it
was done, As is usual, most of the fully restored original drivetrain
and interior was treated like so much trash, and hauled off.

So, I guess it's not just you.....

As long as there are hot-rodders, you're going to have this sort of
abuse. It just raises the value of the remaining original cars a bit
more!

Is it just me, or was anyone else horrified to see them chopping up that
what a 23 Model T? I missed the first 20 minutes of it, so know nothing
of the history behind it, but all that just to make his trophy Wife
something to go play racing at Bonneville. A car like that should be
restored, not destroyed. It is kind of like these people that go to a
whole bunch of work and money to stuff a V8 in the front of a corvair,
ruins everything. BRUCE (still no time to work on em)
