Gadzooks!!

To paraphrase the old cigarette slogan: "That is the Street Rod that dares to be known by bad taste alone"

Odd how they call replacement of the powertrain "an upgrade". For most of the rods I see, they're stuffed with used Chevy parts plastered with lots of chrome, all depressingly uninteresting.

But I have to remind myself, rods aren't about the car, they're about the owner. They are a 'vehicle' (pun intended) for the owner to be thought of as COOL.

Guess you can tell I'm not big on rods. Dislike seeing the original identity and context of the car obliterated for trivial purposes.
