Default Hot Rods?

Is anybody else into older or older styled hot rods? I grew up around the older stuff and didn't get interested in late model cars until it came time to get my first car. I guess I am just an all around car enthusiast because I seem to like them all .

The latest offering from Speedway Motors called the Tribute T-Bucket has REALLY caught my eye. I would probably go with a pushrod 5.0 instead of the flathead but this thing has some real personality.

Thats pretty dope...I like the weather beaten rat rods. But clean hot rods that arent all chromed out look sick too.

I love the old cars, if you ever get a chance to ride in one don't miss out. I have riden in 2 Ford T-buckets and its just a completly different feeling than riding around in the newer stuff.

Like stanger said, I love the Rat Rods, just get a "tetus shot" first before you take a ride.

The first one is my favorite and the diesel is Da shitz!

I really like that first car posted. I'd rock that every weekend with my Dad's old 70's leather bike jacket. I'm into anything light and fast.

I am seriously considering one. It would cost less to build that then it would to finish my Mustang to my liking.
