Old school is totally on it's way back. And I see the super clean factory laid out look coming in hardcore.

I would like to go back to a carb motor too. My only problem is living in an emmisions area because they love to bust your balls.

It's going to be one off show vehicles, it's the only logical progression - they will happen in our generation just like it did in the 60s. We already build frames from scratch, bodies will just be the next natural progression. The hardcore will keep one upping each other until a factory starting slate is obsolete. I know I'll do it anyway

I would like to hope to see a rise in overall build quality of vehicles and less 'throw it together until it lays on the ground" attitude.
More people taking the time to build real quality vehicles is what its going to take to get this 'sport' (i hate calling it that) to the next level.
Personally I would like to see more of an overseas influence on North American trucks. Thanks to the coverage that places like Australia and Japan are getting, we get to see how the american style has influenced their vehicles. But at the same time I have seen alot of really innovative and cool stuff in coverage from overseas that I have yet to see here, and I think alot of people could learn alot from that. Hopefully that outside the box, yet clean and functional mentality gets bigger over here as well. There are some shops stepping things up (everything I see coming out of Bad Habit for example) to a whole nother level of cleanliness and really raises the bar for custom chassis' in the scene now. I built my frame 3 years ago and I hate it now, but oh well. Theres always another project. I'm just hoping innovative ideas like the stuff Bio Kustoms and BHC are doing starts to get noticed and ,not necessarily copied, but people start to see that the bar is always being raised and there are still new, original ways to do the same old thing.
