The Restomod | A Discussion on Modification on the Hot Rod BBQ Podcast - a podcast by Hemmings

The temperature gauge. If you’re a hot rod, classic or muscle car enthusiast, that little dial can be the bane of your existence. Just picture yourself, sitting in traffic on a 95-degree day, as your eyes are locked on that little gauge waiting for it to climb to the moon. While that’s happening, the fuel in the carburetor is starting to boil causing the vehicle to vapor lock and run poorly. Then there are those drum brakes, the ones that almost sent you sideways when you made that panic stop earlier – remember those?

It's time folks. It’s time for EFI, AC, good brakes, cooling, suspension, and power windows. It’s time for reliability and enjoyment. It’s also time to stop catering to those who don’t own YOUR vehicle so you can start driving again with a smile on your face. There are those who will fight against this, who will say they’re only original once - and they’re right, but only partially, because everything currently can be undone. On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast, we talk about the joys of modification and how, if done correctly, they’ll made your ride wonderful again.
