Stop in here. Shoot, we'll even talk about power brakes, power steering and CD players! Well I'm always thinking about hot rodding when I'm not thinking about that other things guys always think about. That means pretty much every post I make could fit in here. Apparently its the thought that counts.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 619 "MONGO" | | "MONGO" Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 619 | You know, I don't see one thread here that looks like a HI-PRO topic. Just right now on page one I'm seeing. Power Steering, Non-Stock Carb Linkage, Late model engine swap, Must II front end questions, Fuel injection on an early Six, AC, V motor sixes, 261 questions, automagic tranny's, lowering, jag conversions, etc.. The short definition of Hi-Pro as I understood it was any modifications done to improve handling or performance. IE.. Not Stock. Any of these topics should fall in here. Please fill us in on what you feel the definition should be and what kind of threads you'd like to see here and we'll be happy to do our best.

I mean, when you look at the antique technology in an AD truck, even a change to radial tires is "HiPo".
To me, it's a broader definition.

I just always thought that high performance should have been about performance improving things. not c.d. players. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 619 "MONGO" | | "MONGO" Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 619 | The simplicity of the AD Trucks is originally what drew me into old trucks (that and the styling). As with everything else in my life I've overcomplicated many of my truck projects, I think that's what landed me here. We do have a pretty broad definition, although I don't think we've had any CD player threads for a while, I usually point those folks over to the Electrical bay.
If you have any questions or concerns on any threads feel free to shoot me a PM about it.
Thanks,
Mongo | | |
