Many people believe that mankind as we know it evolved from primates…not the monkeys that you’d find at your local zoo, but rather from a very basic, upright-walking being that had thought protocols to find food and shelter without getting eaten in the process. The same can be said about the unmodified car, as it’s basically a vehicle to transport its occupants from point A to point B, maybe even with a little style built in if you’re lucky.

It seems that one of the most prevalent reasons a rodder chooses a certain vehicle to build frequently relates back to a childhood memory of a similar car. Often a single encounter will do it; other times it’s the older guy down the street with that cool car, or the fellow high-school student with the muscle car you couldn’t afford at the time. If it was not the family car, maybe an uncle had the one you dreamed about.
