demo for recycled parts?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** September 23, 2012, 04:16:25 AM »

It does incorporate old parts, but not for that purpose. It's primary purpose is one of the two that are usually associated with hot rods.

Sex, drugs and rock'n roll? Oh no, that are three reasons.

But they worked for me.

How about a show car? If so, the builder missed the mark.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** September 24, 2012, 03:21:37 AM »

'Show Car' is closest to the mark. It was built for no other purpose than to be looked at.

A stage prop called "Greased Lightning" for the show Grease

Konicki?

Not from Grease or any other movie or play.

I was looking for something else, when this popped up:
A rare photo of the pseudo hot rod assembled by Allan Herridge for the Highwaymen Rod and Custom Club stand at Hayes Carnival. (Allan Herridge)

What's the difference between a "Pseudo" hot rod and a "genuine" hot rod? The former isn't a runner perhaps.
