Custom, I guess? Aren't hotrods only pre-war cars?

Exactly what I was thinking. Isn't it too new?

Not really. It's mostly the idea.

Actually, me as well. I like looking at the car at its height. By making it a hot rod, you're chopping up the car- altering its appearance permanently.

I wouldn't mind if a person modeled a new car, built a tube chassis or something, and put the engine in. Just don't mess with the original.

It's not anything against having fun. It's just an opinion.
