Think you are on the wrong forum mate !

Rods and Customs dont really get a look in here, I personally love them, bought Street Machine from when I was 13, still never had one though. I think they are fantastic but kind of look weird over here.

Went to a pub meet recently and there were some nice ones there, plus a few original muscle cars

I'd have a rod over a rice rocket, any day.

Don't really go for the plastic pig variety (fibreglass) though. Much prefer to see an old original body modified to suit, along with the chassis.

I must admit i like the rods myself,especially 34 Fords (3 window coupes),just like the zz top video. I've got a feeling the ZZ top one was built by Boyd Coddington and named the Eliminator although i'm not 100%.

Like Shark man says,you can get fibreglass versions now in a kit car style and they do look quite sweet. Check this page out for some nice ones

Ace car, great vid trilogy!!!

i like the car used by the green hornet, a lot of the old yank muscle cars too!!

the zz top ford is cool, as is any V8 shoehorned in!! not keen on the bathtub style ones though.

I'm more of a '32 hi-boy kind of a guy myself (oo-er missus). Halibrands, Moon tank and a DuVall windshield, gloss black paint and some subtle pinstriping.

The ZZ Top motor is actually a '33 Ford (not quite as pointy as a '34).

I still have a Street Machine bottle opener on my keyring
