Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

I prefer them as standard cars and hate the look of most hot rods, but there's quite a big Club for vintage ones now, so sadly I suspect more will be butchered.

This is the local expert with one he's made from bits. It has a tuned flathead V8.



This one has been trimmed like a Rolls-Royce inside, it's has a roof chop and IMO looks better than the original because it's tastefully done.



And this one is pretty standard except for lowered suspension, smaller, wider wheels/tyres and a tuned flathead V8.



My son www.richardjamesupholstery.com does mostly R-R & B and expensive vintage cars, but increasingly he's getting these hot rodders for customers, so now he's building one out of a Pilot chassis and loads of other bits that would otherwise have been scrapped.

I'll post pictures if anyone is interested, but everything I own is completely standard and I'd love a Model Roadster or Coupe.
