The "un-traditional" of "Traditional" Hotrods

You have every right to your opinion. But... make sure you have your facts straight before you start mouthing off...SuperBell for example. After you were corrected you took it as a personal attack. Chill out. Your were just being corrected. BTW you started your post with a personal attack! What goes around...comes around.

Doesen't this look like more fun...driving rather than argueing?

Posts about the definition of tradition as it relates to cars make me want to stab myself in the brain.

 

I read the whole thing and found a couple of things interesting.

#1 "Magnum axles are cast iron".

I didn't know that. Is it really dangerous? Having busted up lots of cast iron to sell for scrap when I was poor I know how easy it breaks.

I had been planning to use one for my truck but now I have some doubts. My main reason for this is that I don't think I have the skill to bend one myself and get it correct.

Anybody actually know of one breaking? I'd really like to know more about this.

There's a bunch of them out there, anyone ever see a broken one?

Sorry for turning a BS post into something technical but I'd really like to hear more about this (I'll pass on the right or wrong part of this).



#2 "PBR Fonzies"

Now that's funny. I drank alot of PBR when I was in college because I could get it for $8 a case on sale. (BTW, Schlitz is more traditional for the true 50s look, it outsold PBR back then. Tastes worse but at least you'll have the look)

 

Here's a definition for you:
