I think it has been turning into alot of bling also. I remember some "early" Pt cars that were just a stock car with suspension under it (mostly homegrown) and usually had a OEM efi setup on them. I think the aftermarket that was helping it is going to turn it into pro street at the end....WAY high dollar cars that barely are streetable. I think the next growing trend seems to be the traditional hot rods (something else I am getting ready to do as my next project) They are low buck and easy to build at home since no fancy paint is needed or high dollar "bling" parts....granted some would call having to have vintage speed parts "bling"
yeah it seems like the two sites are ran by 69 Camaro's but there are also alot of mustangs with TCP or Global west parts on them also...and falcons...but I do like seeing the oddball cars like AMC's (like the Rambler on here) being built up. in my book I will always give more credit to someone that built their car instead of buying it. This is the reason I am not a big fan of imports. This might also be because I am a cheap ass and would rather build something then buy it.
