I say I don't care Chevy, whatever motor, they are into hot rods and V8's is all that matters. Had I been in my bird I would have went over and yakked. I plan on interacting any chance I can with young people "on the path" or interested in it. Would I steer them to Pontiac for a first hot rod? Only if they especially dug them. I would steer them to the cheapest, easiest first build: sbc. These young cats were already there. Then I can hook them on Poncho  |
Boom! That is exactly what I am talking about.
