Default Holden disgrace!!!

The sticker on the buldge says "Boss this"

Gotta hand it to him, some neat work done on installing the buldge to the bonnet.

Neat job but makes me wonder just how much bog there is, may not look all that good in a few years time with some bog cracks. If he lined me up at the lights I will happly BOSS him.

I beg to differ...
There's quite a nice AU XR6 getting around with a custom paint job, T3 five spoke wheels and...... monaro bonnet vents...! Actually looks good..!
I say, each to their own...

Most of them would be fiberglass copies of ford body's anyway, more flattery...A real classic rod will be an original steel ford body/chassis with a flathead !

Probably about as serious as it would be taken on ls1 forums, I would hope anyway, I'm sure if any ford freak started adding pointless vents everywhere they would be crucified on here, point is ford fans appreciate keeping original and within the brand,but each to there own, if I saw a ford modified Holden I would be just laughing to myself and I'm sure that's not the intention of there misguided mods, much more respect given when all are loyal to their respective brand, we will never stop them all using 9" diffs but.....

I can see your point, but I think when some mixed manufacturer mods are done right they can look good. I would never do it personally, but each to their own. That's part of being an automotive enthusiast. Doing things for yourself no matter how accepted they are.

Most of all rods are glass based on that. Chev engines are just more readily available, fit almost anywhere and easy to mod, they arent exactly slugs if done right. If I was going to run a modernish engine (carbed) Id prefer a Windsor but, theres more Chevs to be had.
