Is this considered a "Hot-Rod" - as seen at Auto Restoration of Long Island; ask Chuck Ragusa what's the difference between a Resto-Mod and this Hot-Rod.

Hot-Rod Restorations

By definition; Hot-Rods are some what similar to muscle cars; they typically have large powerful engines, modified or “hopped-up” for speed. The term dates back to the ’30-’40’s these cars were light roadsters; back then the trend on the West Coast was to reduce the weight of the car - removing the bumpers, top, and swapping out the engine for more power. This began a trend of chopping tops, sectioning, and channeling, dropping lowering the car; all in the name of speed- the birth of NHRA; National Hot Rod association.
