"It's all too easy to break out the cheque book nowadays.
Back in the 40's and 50's the guys used what they had available."
Most stuff back then, today we call "rat rods". No one could afford a 15000.00 paint job or a body man at $____ an hour and if you didn't have the skills necessary you "made do".
But today we whine if we must pay $3 a gal. to put gas in our cushy cars. 29 cents a gallon sounds like heaven today but entertainment was so limited cruising between teenage hangouts was about all we had.
