"In Fort Worth, Texas this past weekend, the Good Guys Lone Star Nationals brought together thousands of the finest hot rods and customs from central USA at the Texas Motor Speedway. This show seems to get better every year and this year was no exception. There was something for everyone, no matter what your taste in Hot Rods might be, and there were a few trends that seem to be emerging. The cut-down high boy pickups are gaining popularity, as are the very old-school roadsters and coupes. This show also had a place for '57 Chevy's to get together in honor of the 50 years they have been around, and also a spot for the '32's to celebrate 75 years of being the hot rod icon. Three days is just not enough to check 'em all out! I can't wait til next year." Richard "Too Low" Haas, The Donut Gang
