I have lurked on here for awhile, but just decided to join. I might be pushing the envelope on "traditional hotrod" but you never know. After years of 60s and 70s era musclecars that would pass anything but a gas station and the last few years of some imports that were scary fast (but a lot of fun) I finally picked up a 33 Plymouth PD sedan. It was built as a hotrod in the 70s, near as i can tell (the red and black crushed velvet interior is a pretty good clue). I am not sure where I am going from here, which is where I may deviate from the "traditional". I am thinking late model hemi and updated suspension. If I go too far, or am doing something really dumb, feel free to let me know. Now, if I can just figure out how to post a pic.
Oh yeah, the traditional stuff currently. it now has a 394 Olds motor and a 4 speed automatic, which I believe is called a "slim jim" by some. it's got a 57 chevy rear end and a whole bunch of Cragar SS's. It also came with a set of 14" slightly rusty true spokes. It was a driver (before I started taking it apart).
