Hot Rods The Difference.

Could someone please tell me the difference between a g***er and an altered... Thanks, JQ

 

Old days rules. G***er, 10% engine set back, altered 25%, Measured from the center of the spindle to the first spark plug.

Simple answer: G***ers are street legal, altereds aren't.

 

g***er - she farts when she walks by

altered - she's a little cross-eyed but still cute enough to kiss

 

In a g***er engine set back is limited to 10% from stock
In an altered it can be 25%
G***er must have fenders, an altered does have too.
An altered is typically a race car built with a portion of the body of a car . Hopefully it isthe portion where the driver sits. Often there is not much else there.
A G***er is the complete car or looks so although often no bumbers.

G***ers have fenders, headlights, etc. = street legal
Altereds no fenders
plus the engine set backs listed above
Red
Dolmetsch beat me to it

 

I've seen altereds and g***ers that have been painted colors other than red...
