I feel that their are no modern hot rods anymore. Why doesn't someone hot rod a car built within the last 10 years. I am not talking about modifying a PT Luiser, Prowler, HHR, SSR, Mustang, or anything that is already retro. Here is one of my ideas for a modern hot rod. An Aurora, already has 250hp V8, chop it, lower it, and modify to the style befitting a 50s Merc.
