    I was wondering if anyone lives up here in my area? Seems like hot rods are a dieing breed in these parts.

    I lived in Panama City for about 3 years and I didnt see many rods around but I used to go up around Paxton Alabama and found alot of old steel around the area . If you want to see some street racing go to Steel Field road off of 98 in Panama City Beach on saturday night .:D

    You could be a bit more specific about your location.

    I've Spent some time in the Destin, Ft Walton & Panama City. Does not even compare to the West Coast. Overall, not allot going on. Its primarily Billet & Tupper-rods. There are some fine restored and period resto-rods, but they don't come out much.

    Swap Meets are 4-5 hours away, Moultrie GA & Daytona are big ones but only twice a year.

    This is a very big Muscle Car area. Two big clubs dominate the car scene. Bay County Mustangs & the Emerald Coast Corvette Club.

    Crestview, FL here..... Small town north of Destin and east of Pensacola. Only a few rods out and about from time to time. Most guys seem to keep them in the garage.

    How true. I'm between Fort Walton Beach and Pensacola. Good old school car builder in P'Cola. See my link below. Great guy. Slow, but great guy. There's another shop near Gulf Breeze. He builds mostly 'glass street rods, but they are nice. aka "Root's Real Rods"
