Hot Rod Woodies The idea behind this woodie concept was to reflect back to the time period when hot rods were just getting started. At the end of World War II, some of our returning veterans, particularly airmen, felt a "need for speed" and wanted to make the cars they could afford to buy, go faster. These guys tinkered and tweaked putting bigger engines in smaller light-weight cars which they then raced at the dry lakes at El Mirage and Muroc as well as the Bonneville Salt flats. In so doing, they gave birth to hot rodding as we know it today. Early on they flavored their cars with aircraft nose art, squadron insignias, and aircraft gauges and switches as a way to show pride in their military service.   This car is a tribute to these brave men and their early hot rods. The dashboard has an array of WWII P-51 Mustang gauges, a P-51 joystick control for a shifter handle and some nose art on the cowl. As a way to make the car appear to be old instead of new, the wood has been distressed and aged to get an early "vintage" look. It has classic hot rod elements and plenty of power for the adrenalin rush that hot rods need to have. Hot rods are supposed to be fun, and why not a hot rod woodie?
