Okay, Bill. I found a hot poker video, but it's extremely disturbing and offensive.
Do NOT click on the video link below!

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

looking at the path your countrys car industry has been taking for the past 3-4 decades, particularly the past two, i would say pro-touring is only just getting going.
'79 Trans Am W72 400/4spd Y84 S/E with WS6 T-Tops LSD AC OK?
Remember, big engines are for those trying to compensate for something.

I dig the pro touring concept
I just don't like blingy wheels - mouth off to our pro freiberger sites @www.bangshift.com or rodderscorner/imforme.com

Don't you think it is a little bit suspicious that this thread was his one and only post here at PT.com? He keeps looking to check out the reaction, (he was here this AM) but no more posts.
Don't feed the trolls.

It was like he read this thread and decided to do something to piss everyone off. The mag felt a little lighter this month, too.

Doesn't this just show that nobody at Hot Rod has any original ideas?
I'm not a pioneer in the PT world by any stretch, but I dreamt of a muscle car that handled since 6th grade. So I'll continue to do what makes me happy. It's my perogative.
I guess we've all heard the saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity. I'm sure the controversy will sell copy...and that's all that matters to HR.

How many of you have actually read this months issue? For a mag that is supposedly so against the pro touring movement its funny how it featured the Keisler Cuda and their Factory Five '33 project this month. In 20-30 years the tasteless retro thing will be throwing on ugly 19" wheels and $700 hood hinges..

I thought billet hood hinges went out in the 90s with pink '32 Fords and chrome plated coil springs. Oh yeah that was before everyone had a pirated copy of Solidworks and a CNC shop down the street. Someone really needs that windshield washer bottle bracket that's whittled out of a 50lb chunk of aluminum. Originally Posted by Memphis

Great thread! Had fun reading it. The milk and cookies were great. Thanks Mr.V.
I've got a few years left on my build. Man, I hope PT doesn't die before I finish.
