World's Largest Collection of Hotrod Pictures

The great American Hotrod. Hotrods have been built out of regular cars and trucks for as long they have been produced. Some of the things that can be done to a vehicle to classify it as a hotrod include minor modifications such as putting glass pack mufflers on to get a meaner sound, or a larger carburetor  to increase the volume of fuel that is delivered through the intake manifold to the cylinders to increase horsepower. Some other radical things that can be done to a car or truck to define it as a hotrod would include swapping engines and/or transmissions, wheels and tires, or even a cool paintjob. What I would consider a major modification to a car or truck would be chopping the top, or radiusing the wheel wells to give the vehicle an altogether different look than that of a stock ride. When you mix all these different aspects together and use them one one particular vehicle, then you have what is considered to be a great hotrod.
