let me know if you are a resto mod or a classic hot-rod fan??

The answer is yes.

[Joseph Scott]

LOL.......both I guess!

[Nicks67GTO]

My answer would be the same....yes. I like all different kinds of cars and there is room for all of them.

[Joseph Scott]

Same feeling here!!! Thanks!! I love what some of the new younger builders are doing with the old stuff today!!!

There is definitely room for everything. I have my 50's low and slow cruiser, a drag car, pro-touring-lite (Mustang), and am shortly going to start on pro-touring-serious (67 and 71 Camaros), and a 60's style gasser. Variety is what makes the hobby fun, I don't want to see all stock cars, all pro touring cars, or all drag cars, I can appreciate them all. But I do think there are many cars that should be kept stock, especially if it's a nicely restored or desirable original, ex. it may be old school technology, but a 67 Stingray with a solid lifter 427 and side pipes is original muscle car perfection.

[Joseph Scott]

Very true or if a car is rare, then going back original should be considered!!

I like all cars and modify most of the ones that have gone through my garage. I have also restored a few cars because they were original.

The problem I have with on Restored Cars, is I can drive them because I'm afraid to damage them in any way. So I always sell them.

Modified Cars I can drive em like I stole them even if I've put more money into them than a Restoration

[rustomatic]

Yes. I can like any kind of car, given attributes I find attractive. I don't really know how to classify my Falcon, not that I care, but it's neither pro-touring nor typical hotrod. Nevertheless, I tend to go with hotrod, because it's not a full race car either. It has crappy paint and several dents, but very nice suspension, steering, and brakes, with a pretty peppy small block Ford.

Just looked.....and I think it might be my new all time favorite car.

[Joseph Scott]

The car's stance on the show was unreal............Loved it!! You have go to watch that episode!

[CampbellshotrodsAZ]

Got it on my DVR, can't wait to see it since it looks awesome in those pics. I've got huge respect for those Legendary people. They can do a perfect 100 point restoration, but they're one of the few shops that can also build a perfect, badass hot rod, such as their Cuda. Not often do you find places that can do both.

[Joseph Scott]

100% agree..............I love the stuff Chip Foose does, but more and more, I'm thinking that IF I ever had the $$ to have a build done, I'd let the guys at LMC do it! I'm curious after you watch it, let me know what you think the guy paid for this build?
