I stumbled across this forum after seeing Clark Bates' 24 Dodge at the Autorama (on the net). I've been working on cars for years but haven't had much experience with traditional hot rods like those featured here, so I want to soak up some knowledge. I've mostly worked with muscle cars and offroad vehicles and motorcycles. But I've always loved the approach of stripping off anything that doesn't make it faster, and I believe no project is ever "done."
