It deserves a run on FTE and what better crew then this.
It cam home on a trailer almost know brakes and drunkin'monkey steering.
It may go on the trailer for painting or I just may say whatever verbiage fits and drive it to be prepped and painted - The Hot Rod Shop Truck will forever run as a DD unless I'm using my speedster.

No i have 3 trailers. And that is how I got my last HEAP to the shop.
Which is a 51 f1 got it running drove it to the house and now is all apart on a trailer waiting its turn to be put back together.
I liked the the video that 4tl8ford posted. I Looked at his gallery and saw.. his ride on the trailer . Earlier that day I was talking to a buddy of mine who has a real nice 36 3 window. I asked him if he has been driving it. No No still in the garage until the next show!!! This is a car that has a 12k motor in it and only goes from garage to trailer to show and back home.That is what I meant by a Trailer queen.
When i lived down the road from my buddy any time we would go for a ride he always wanted to take mine. No show ride for me just a good fun truck or car. Dont get me wrong I like the show rides and they are great I just like to drive and not worry about using it.I hope 48tl8ford didnt take me wrong I didnt mean anything by it,I saw the Panel on the trailer and had to laugh it reminds me of what i am always doing dragging a ride on a trailer.

The video was great and got me thinking

To quote Clinton, “It depends on what the definition of IS, is.”
Or “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.

The narrator makes a futile argument for the demise of Hot Rodding; it’s only his definition of the term that may merit some worth. Putting a 50’s era Hemi in a T-Bucket might be a little restrictive as a way of defining “true” Hot Rodding.

The spectrum has definitely gotten broader. From Rat Rods to Daily Drivers to Trailer Queens, the endeavor probably has a larger following today than it ever did.

The video was more a clip of the ”good old days” shot in B&W to tug at our heart strings.

Now, where did I leave my Wynn’s Friction Proofing?
