I am a hot rodder through and through, and what I see is a lot of the old restorers are moving on and the hot rodders have picked up some nice cars, but yes we need to preserve more of these cars, especially the rare and low production cars, but a greater problem is that the generation following us is low in numbers and without the capitol to pick up either the bone stock cars or the rods because typically they are finacially out of reach . What would be helpful is if we can generate a greater interest in any and all of these vehicles before the followers of David Suzuki can lobby legislators to crush these fine automobiles and get them of the roads. How's that for fearmongering? A few years ago I redid an interior in a 42 Merc coupe, it had a black tuck and roll interior which I replaced with a stock interior, the owner had removed the hopped up flattie and undid some chrome and put the taillights back to stock. Two years ago I put a top and leather interior on this 1930 Buick which had been made into a truck but the new owner refound the neccesary pieces and was able to restore it to its former glory. . .
