that trike is outragous, I concour with Donzie, since when did it become a trend to have the rear tire higher that the body?

This is the 4th year I have gone... The "corner" of the grove has always been host to serious chops and channels... You really need to see it in person to get the real feel...
AHotRod
10-07-2003, 11:22 PM
FrameDragger....You are RIGHT! To experiance this is to have lived, that's why my wife and I traveled from Florida just to see and FEEL. She is so excited, she wants another HotRod, which is OK with me!

Love the pix but some of the cars look silly. Just because you can chop and channel the hell outta it, doesnt mean you should. There is a point where it goes from cool to stupid. Some of these cars have crossed that line. No offense.
FrameDragger
10-08-2003, 12:18 AM
Chris, just wondering, which ones pictured here, in your opinion, have gone over the line?

Maybe I am so used to it that I've lost touch...

Over the line? It's hard to explain the feelin you get walkin around. I just suck it all in then go over and over and over all the feelings I had trying to understand what I really saw...It takes a good month to really get over the immediate post hot rod withdrawls!

If these cars represent the current level of cool, I'm hanging out in the wrond end of the movement. It's time for me to move on.

Oh ya...JOe JOst's!! Pabst and specials...the only way to fly in Long Beach-
HotrodVon
10-08-2003, 01:05 AM
Av8, what do you mean? I feel that some of the cars are way impratical to drive even in a hot rod sense. I guess some are just "show" pieces, and that's it and then there are some that are just rust buckets with no ingenuity...Oh well...Hot rodding takes all kinds-IMHO
SamIyam
10-08-2003, 01:57 AM
I agree Mike... looks like a good cross section of the RAT ROD movement... not all were boring (#15 & #21), but most were, shall I say, a bit dull as compared to what was at the event... not to mention the "broken rat rod" look is getting old.

Now, ElPolacko's coverage was a better cross section of "cool" found at one of the best events on the planet...

And above all, this is my opinion... I'm not stating it as fact... just an opinion.
Sam.

I dig the trike...but then again I like a lot of those heavily channeled rods, too. Some of them are a bit too much, but still fun to look at...like cartoons! Thanks for the pics.
Zodoff
10-08-2003, 02:35 AM
Im not that spoiled,and trendy,so I think it looks like a helluva kool bunch of rods..
Thanks for putting up the pics!

What I mean is that I see nothing in the line-up on this thread that's interesting, innovative, or hot-rod real. They're scenster cars, like tats and do's and cuffed Levis -- the imagined ultimate expression of looking cool without having to deliver.

These are not hot rods that are hammered up and down the Left Coast year around or across country again and again. I'm guessing that most of them log less than a thousand miles each year under their own power. They aren't transportation -- daily drivers. They're scene accessories that are trotted out for special occasions, like VLV or the CHRR.

I hoped that hot rodding would have fared better than this by now but apparently that's not the case. There's a circle-jerk mentality of bad design extant that would mindlessly hurt hot rodding, but the movement is much stronger than the cretins who would attempt to damage it.

Tuth is beauty, beauty truth. En hopup veritas. And it's a major sin to worship poorly conceived hot rods . . .

Thanks for the pics.

Some nice lookin rides there, must have been real sensory overload.

As usual, ya cant please all the people all the time.

Strange how even here some folks want everything to look like what they think is cool, wierd eh?

Thanks Again

Dreamweaver,
I enjoy them all, and I don't worry about whether or not someone else does... otherwise we will become just like the "Gold Chainers" and pick everything to death, and that just drives folks away...History lesson!

Beatnik,
What a awesume time we had, but the racing was'nt all that and a bag of chips. The HotRods are what made it for us, and we may try something different next time where there are just cool Rods and Customs.

I am very partial to number 1. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif It was nice meeting you and your wife. I had a great time sat., and El mirage sun. was a blast. The car has dirt caked in places it shouldn't from doing donuts out there. I don't think I will ever get it all off!
Later

aV8, I agree with you- Parked hot rods only add up to 50%. A hot rod NEEDS to be built to drive! Although eye candy is fun to look at- it's not the total deal.

Great Pictures! Thanks!
AHotRod
10-08-2003, 02:47 PM
Donzie,
Thanks, I took 221 pictures, to many to post... and I agree, it's good to see what was there, because there are to many times that I can not attend these events.
