It's hot rodding so there are no rules. It's more of a pendulum thing. How the individual cues are applied will usually swing the car's identity one way or the other. Steve Strope could have installed carpeting in the Charger and it's identity would be intact.

Bad Penny is a perfect example: It doesn't matter what color Steve Rupp chooses for the perfectly smooth firewall, she will still be a pissed off, misbehavin' little streetfighter. At the same time the Mule has a serious roll cage, crazy power and forged wheels, but the car sets a benchmark for traditional pro-touring. Bill Howell's GTO has tons of serious hardware (blown small block, Global West, Wilwood, QA-1), but it leans heavily towards the mod rod theme.

Just remember that Brad Pitt dumped Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie.
