Let's play a little hypothetical game.  For the purpose of our discussion today, let's assume that you just hit the Powerball for the jackpot.  Money and time are no longer in the picture.  You have decided that with a portion of your winnings, you are going to build a Hot Rod to cruise around in.

What car would you pick to start the project with, and what would you do with it?

For myself, I would pick a '57 Chevy 210 Hardtop Coupe.  And I would turn it into a wheel standing Gasser.  Drop in a big 454 with a blower stickin' through the hood, heavy duty Powerglide transmission, a custom roll cage, and a candied forest green paint job with a "real flame" flame job on the front and back the sides.  I'd tub that baby out and throw some monster slicks on the back.  I'd run the exhaust right up through the hood too.

So what would you do?  Chop & drop a '49 Merc?  Rat out a 32 Coupe?  Buy a "Judge" GTO?  Turn a '64 Impala SS into a Lowrider?  Do what you want...the sky is the limit...tell us what your dream project is.
