Yes, I agree about the money part for sure. But there was I believe a 1969 black Roadrunner with a Hemi in it, with no hood, and black glossy rims and red line tires, that was I believe, built mostly by the owner. That car to me, was a great example of combining old and new themes. Also, the white 1968 Mustang finalist, with the great striping and zoomie exhast coming out the front fenders, had some of the traditional hot rodding elements that can be mixed in with the new technology. I think that Troy Trapanier's inclusion of the big Chrysler, was a fine move to break the mold, that seems to be shaping up. The Roadster Shop Corvette entry looks to be a unbelievable car, and I applaude them for their win. I'm sure all of the finalist were excellently constructed examples of today's trends.
