How many of you on the board have classic cars or hot rods? I love old cars, but sadly cannot find or afford many decent project cars here in the rust belt. I have been looking for a 54 chevy 2 door, but have not had much luck. was also thinking about a 70 cadillac that a friend of mine is selling, but it has a 500 cubic inch engine and gas is $2.30 a gallon here( I just bought a 1980 Chevy Chevette for $400, yeah, I know it's not cool, but it gets 32 miles per gallon!)

I have a red '61 Falcoln with black and grey interior (soon to be black and leopard print). It has kustom pinstriping and a metal flake top.
Its not my daily cruiser, its just for play.
I know Shelley Crash and Kustom 55 have hotrods.

ive always been into cars and i can afford to buy a nice custom but its just not practical for me now. with gas cost where it is and it will continue to rise im very happy with my civic. I have a chevy silverado also and am ready to dump that for a small Tacoma. Im glad i never got the bug for custom cars because i have money for other things now.

My wife and I have built many custom vehicles, from race-prepped Hondas to a fully 'bagged, body-dropped and shaved full-size Ford, to a hardcore rock-crawling Jeep (as well as a couple other Jeeps), and many others in between. We had a cherry, all-original '63 Caddy Coupe de Ville with 49,000 original miles that we sold in favor of other projects. As soon as school's done, we're going to be shopping for another project. There's several possibilities - I'd like to restore an old f-head military Jeep, or build a kustom '59 Caddy, or maybe even a hardcore, traditional lowrider ('62 Impala comes to mind.)
You guys just need to remember that it's cool to be a motorhead, no matter what style of vehicle you like.
