Hot Rodding & Customizing Cars
| The desire to express individuality by customizing automobiles has been a part of car culture throughout its history. The '32 Ford epitomizes hot rodding. When somebody says "hot rodding," they think of the Deuce, so named for the "two" in '32. It was so popular, in fact, that of the original 12,000 roadsters manufactured, many hot rodders joke, only 50,000 remain. |

Street rods differ from antique or restored vehicles in that the street rod has been materially altered to utilize modern or other make and model components not produced as part of the original vehicle. The rearend is often the last part of the drivetrain to be considered when building a car, and it usually receives attention only after something breaks. With good high-performance rearends available for Ford, GM and Mopar cars, a stronger rear-axle assembly can simply be bolted in from the same make car. Hold-Off / Metering Valves are used in the front (disc) system of a disc/drum brake system. They provide a "hold off" function to allow the rear (drum) brakes to actuate first. This function is very important in making the system function in the correct sequence in a rear wheel drive car. The rear brakes are always actuated first. This function is built into most factory type disc/drum combination valves. Make sure you have a metering/hold-off valve in the system either as a stand alone valve or as part of a factory valve.
