Technical STREETROD or HOTROD?

Why should you , or anyone else , care ??

 

I always felt any car could be hotrodded. Only pre-war cars could be street rods.

 

I searched and tried to find a picture of your rig, I bet I would love it, you promised some pictures back in a 2014, but I can’t find any. When I dream of hot rods, trucks rarely come up and dual wheels never come up. I could be converted, but in my world hot rods have dual exhaust, but not dual wheels. No stress intended.

 

Real hot rodders can repair anything

 

I do mine with a Sharpie. I am SOOOooo afraid that one day I will make a mistake.

 

That oughta bring some young blood into hot rodding

 

I intentionally looked for a heavy duty rear end with dual wheels because the initial idea was to use it on my farm to haul hay, horse feed, etc. A regular Model A pickup just isn't up to much true farm work. The phrase "farm rod" just seems too dissonant. I'm fine with posting on Antiquated while lurking on the Traditional forum. Here's some photos from awhile back. It's painted Rustoleum hunter green now. View attachment 6319878 View attachment 6319881 View attachment 6319881

 

I don't do electronics. My house security system, needed upgrades...again. And no I don't mean ammunition delivery. Got that part handled.

 

HAHA!!

 

Street Rods are what I call civilized. My Hot Rod is NOT.

 

I thought "Street Rod" was a 1-800 number...

 

No 1-800 in mid 60s back , or was there a 4 or 5 digit number equal to 1-800?

 

Jeezuz, it was a snarky reply. Do we have to analyze it...

 

I know you have a unique way of putting things ,I was asking a question,
Did know witch way you mint .
In Reality , I recognize Street Rod
Late 80s , I really did not know it was term used pre 60'
My post #19 now is my perception
Paint & Bling = S-R ,
Now when asked / Hear about
term S-R , I will ask What year , era.

 

I was hoping you were going to solve 35 across as OTIS. As in “Hot Rod Otis”

 

Never say never.

 

BOO!

Ben

 

And three pedals!

 

Damn straight!

 

The horror of it ...

 

Well, of course we do. In 1965, the equivalent of a 1-800 number was a long-distance collect call or a 5-cent stamp.

 

I have the same exact one, I use the ol #2 pretty often out in the garage, I don't lick it though, never quite understood that one.



As far as the hot/street rod thing goes someone here informed me once that my truck was a street rod because it has a chrome steering column. Lol

 

Mark, I am surprised you don’t have a collection of sharpeners, lol. That’s a lot better looking than mine.

 

Hot Rod or Street Rod ?...
Try collector or hoarder.


(No hate mail)

 

street rod is a strange term that should have never been dreamed up. HOT ROD is the only term we need for HOT RODS.

 

Regarding either one...

When I had a job and got paid by the hour, I had plenty of time to do crossword puzzles. Now that I'm retired, not so much.
