When it comes to road trips we’re always saying that it is the journey, not the destination, that is most important. And when building hot rods or race cars we often say that the process is as important as the finished product. So if those things are true, does the process have to match the finished project. If you are building an ultra high end hot rod, do you need to use ultra high end tools? Or can you build one with what you have and the finished product is all that matters?
And to take it to another level, do you need to use period correct tools for the build you’ve got going? Does a 1990’s custom truck need 1990’s tools? If you are building a traditional hot rod that is going to look like it was built in 1950, do you need to use 1949 and 1950’s era tools for the build?
The Iron Trap Garage boys talked about this recently on their podcast, so what it below and let us know what you think.
Video Description:
Matt and Mike sit down to discuss a very interesting topic that gets brought up during conversations and in the comments sections of our videos, modern tools for building a “traditional hot rod”. While we feel that that look and style of the car is what makes it traditional, some people feel it should be built the traditional way was well! Leave a comment with your thoughts!!
