Yes, you could say that

Post by: pnegyesi on September 23, 2012, 04:11:49 AM: demo for recycled parts?
Title: Re: Not an Off-the-Rack Kustom #291
Post by: Otto Puzzell 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. :D

But they worked for me. :lmao:

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

Post by: Otto Puzzell 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.

Post by: D-type on October 20, 2012, 10:55:34 AM: What's the difference between a "Pseudo" hot rod and a "genuine" hot rod? The former isn't a runner perhaps.

In that case, there are a ton (figuratively speaking) of radical kustom show cars that would fit into the "pseudo" category. But then there always was a division between the hot rodders and the kustom car people. The saying "if it don't go, chrome it" kinda defines the dividing line.

But what I'm wondering is if he'd used the trunk (boot) from a '27 Model T, would it have been a "mock turtle deck?"
