Taking an old car and building a rusty hot rod is so outdated already, it's been done a million times and is most boring to look at. The same goes for anything built with an LS engine. Anyone with an internet connection, a mig welder and a milwaukee cordless drill calls themselves a fabricator and builds rusty old cars with an LS engine, SOOO BORING! You want to build something unique, why not build a car and instead of clear coating the rust, make the body incredibly perfect and apply so much paint it looks like you could dive into it (trust me there's few painters still around who can actually do this), back in the day (1981 for me) going to an RG Canning show in LA and looking at all of the meticulously perfect low riders on display demonstrated true craftsmanship. And instead of the usual old LS engine with a turbo (WOW look a turbo) why not use something different, a 13B rotary perhaps, they're tiny.
While I'm at it, anything fancy and plasma cut has been done way too many times and doesn't get anyone's attention anymore. It's way too easy to have a part cut out of sheet metal, at first glance it may seem cool but the reality of it is it's just another part cut out on a plasma table and is totally not unique anymore.
I'm not trying to piss on anyone's cheerios, this is just my take on what's being built lately. You want to set yourself apart from everyone, study them all and build something different. Posting every step along the way also tends to cause most to lose interest, instead maybe post important milestones of the project with a single photo, that in itself makes the reader more interested. I don't want to be a hypocrite so I'll admit I was guilty of this too when I posted a thousand photos of my new sand rail frame project, but interestingly enough I've stopped doing that, it will be seen when it's ready to be seen.
Don't get yawll's panties in a wad over my post, it's just an editorial. :classic_cool:
