Not that me blowing hot air about this street rod deal matters, but, hey, why not?

1)street rod with $10,000 paint + 18" billet rims + Chevy TPI engine + 700R4 transmission + polished aluminum everything = no vision, no taste, no skinned knuckles 'cause you payed someone to do it, plus no seat time

2)street rod with teal paint & splash graphics + generic cheesy aluminum rims + Chevy 350 + Edelbrock Performer intake/carb + plus Accel HEI + plus chrome everything = even less vision, even less taste, and you might've skinned your knuckles, but it's still all wrong

3)street rod with black epoxy primer paint + steel rims with hubcaps & cheater slicks out back + Ford Flathead, Buick Nailhead, early Hemi, or, of course, Pontiac engine + no chrome or polished aluminum = now you've got it right
