What does TRADITIONAL mean??

I don't have a short, clear, concise definition of a "Traditional" hot rod or custom, but I know one when I see one.

Electrical is traditional-Electronic ain't.
Honesty is traditional- Fake "looks like old" ain't
Mag wheels are traditional- "Kwenny-Foe Dubs" ain't
Drive the piss out of it is traditional- Feather dusters ain't

If you ain't starting to understand by now maybe you won't........... ever.

Oh, and most real old time hoodlum hot rodders don't really give a **** whether some one else likes our car or our opinion or not.

 

In 2 hrs this thread is up to 4 pages? Now how damned stupid is that?

When's the next Tech Week?

 

This guy has it, I'll add all years are traditional just some don't seem to be invited to this forum. Period correct is the term that would best describe the era in which it was built.

 

This is Traditional.

 

You're totally right, period correct is best.

 

Traditional means simply built from a style in the past

For some it is based on old magazines
For some it is based on old photo albums
It can cover a wide variety of years or be narrowed down to a small window of history

For the purpose of the message board it is pre 1964

It's really something you need to define yourself

 

Hand made parts, owner pride, and cars that have soul.

 

The best answer right here

 

a family tradition , hank williams jr. explains .

 

But you still have a nice car.......

 

that's some funny **** right there...........

 

Airide? Are you going to tell Ryan to take them off of his '38?

fyi.... firestone air bags have been on hot rods for ages...

please remove them from your list to stop the others who will say the same thing (because they dont know)

 

Leave this lame *** thread and check the rebuild thread on Ryan's 38. He's made some changes you might wanna see !

 

yes.

 

You may want to go look at your post history before running your mouth. A whole lot of drivel for the most part. Your gl*** house it ripe for a stones throw.

And 17" Mustang looking wheels? Really?

There's bunch of stuff that gets a p***, wheels usually are not one of them, the stuff that tends to get a p*** isn't seen.

 

He already did, have you not been paying attention?
