hot rod guns / hot rod cars . . . always was . . . always will be !!
Mike just so you understand I appreciate those type of guns and cars. For years my daily driver was a 1967 Shelby GT 500 that I installed a Nascar 427 Tunnel Port. I still own another 1967 GT350 with the small block 289. Guess I'm getting a little older.
I totally understand. I'm just coming from a customer position that has always wanted an easier hammer draw which is more conducive for faster times/handling , especially if the thumbs are a little arthritic. Likewise, the vast majority of "casual shooters" like the "race ready" revolvers for the "ease of operation" it offers. That means other ways to combat cap problems which introduces cap posts, action shields . . . which are passive as far as shooter operation. So, 95 +% of my customers want that as opposed to heavy hammers, hoping frags won't/can't get into the action anyway blah blah . . .
As for cars . . . I grew up tuning cars at my across the street neighbor's garage. Engine swaps, carb rebuilds, brakes, . . . pretty much anything a customer needed we pretty much did. The range of cars was anything GM, the occasional Dodge / Chrysler ( if it was a neighbor !! Lol) but, he wouldn't touch a Ford !! So, my automotive upbringing is why I am lacking in the Ford dept. I remember seeing Cobras ( real ones!) around town, the first 'Stangs and 'Cudas . . . (always loved the Cougars hidden headlights!!)
My cars ranged from a '64VW Bug, '76 Vega that ended up with a 3.8 Buick 6, a 280 Z ( 2+2 "family" car) with a 350 Olds, several trucks, back to cars with several BMW's with one of which I still run around in, an '88 535 that'll still sh *t an get ( it's not all "factory" stuff) !! Definitely still fun for an old guy !!!
