Not Ranked
Wayne,
Actually, the rodders get some of the same abuse, and the same questions, but maybe not to the extent we do. I hang out with rodders a lot and some of them have some snobbery against the fiberglass "kit" street rods too. One of the guys I know drives a 33 Chevy steel body rod with a front plate that says "not a kit". That pretty much defines how he feels about it. This statement is directed at the fiberglass rodders, but I fall into the category too. It doesn't bother me, because no matter how these guys feel about the fiberglass, they can't deny that my car looks good, with more attention to detail than many of their cars.
I just put these comments on the same level as the old Chevy vs. Ford vs. Dodge debate. There is no one right answer. They all had their pros and cons, just like the kit vs. real debate.
The most vocally abusive people are probably driving PT cruisers or rusty old Chevys, or something like that.
