Because you can, and it would be fun,...

 

Why wouldn't you? If I had the money and time for it, I most definitely would!

 

It's called "Hot Rodding".

 

All true. To answer the challenge further, the engine bay is no longer there. THIS example has had the entire floor cut out and a new floor added to match a full frame. It is a traditional body-bolted-to-frame setup. Front and rear suspension is no longer HHR.

Result is the "bay" is now different than it was.

 

It's not a new trend





Of course even further back to the late fifties

 

That's one rat install, but hey, I'm sure the person was proud of what they did.

 

What they did with what they had!

 

I second that. Although I would have to add; if I had the talent and you can never have enough power.

 

Yeah, it would be a huge learning experience, no talent for electronics here

 

This look to be a very nice build. I'd like to see lots more pictures of this. Looks like some sort of Ls motor. I'm not wild about covering that big beautiful V8 with a piece of plastic tho.
