Hello
UK here, male 53 married, in London.
I've been around the hot rodding / Custom car / yank scene here in England for to many years.
I have a 1967 Mustang, and a 1967 Camaro.
Not Hot rods I agree, but V8s and fun.
Well the Mustang is fun to drive, the Camaro is a pile of bits in my garage.
Which one day might be a car, or an even bigger pile of bits.

Welcome Mark!!
You got pics of your two piles. The nice mustang pile and the wanna be a car pile Camaro.

Heck yes they are hot rods, if they are hot rodded, they are hot rods. But even for restorations, we all have different tastes here and you find a little of everything. Welcome!

This was the Camaro the day I bought it.

 

[mark302]

I bought it with out and engine, the plan was to put a engine in that I had.
Then sell it to make a bit of money.
That didn't work out, as I gotcarried away with it.

That's how far I have got.
I have got marrried, got a house built a garage, extended the house.
Still haven't finished the Camaro

Here is the Mustang.
It runs drives goes around corners and everything.

Mostly stock, you can see the wheels are american racing.
The engine, is a 1969 302, I have the original 289 as well.
Holley carb on an Edelbrock manifold, and cam.
Replaced the interior, and other bits and pieces, had it since 1981.

It has a narrowed 9 inch, it's just 2 inch each side less then the stock 8 inch.
390 GT springs. A coil out of the front springs.

Don't it use very much, but couldn't sell it really.

Definetly two good lookin' piles. You do nice work!
I say. Keep em' forever!!!

[against all odds]

Are american cars, both old and new, popular in the UK?

How about dealer, parts and service support?
