Since this seems to be open for discussion (and it shouldn’t) I’m going to throw in my 2 cents. First, please understand I enjoy every vehicle from 100 point restorations to full out Rat Rods. This particular forum was created for those who like to modify their trucks. It’s supposed to be a safe haven for discussions about hotrod modifications. Those who choose to post in this forum have made a choice and it’s their personal business why. It’s not our mission to talk them out of doing it. We have many members who are into the hotrod scene and can offer good advise and instructions on creating the best hotrod you can. So, if your a purist we have numerous forums for you to share your expertise, just stay in those forums and leave the HiPo Forum to those with a need for speed and eye candy.
For you hotrod guys, when offering advise it’s ok to state why you wouldn’t do something but then try to help the guy make his choice the best it can be. Yes, 2 carbs is not the best choice and Pertronix ignitions suck and headers don’t help Stovebolts gain gobs of horsepower but the guy has made his choice. Let’s help them instead of poo pooing on every modification they propose. Am I guilty of the above behavior, probably, but I’m going to try to be better.
Stepping down from the soapbox.
