"If you ever head to Texas for the Lone Star Round Up, be sure to find a way to attend Reggie Hill's annual "Before the Round Up" get together.

Reggie is an Austin area hot rodder who symbolizes everything that Texas Hot Rodding is all about. His collection of all steel hot

rods will turn the head of any car guy and talk about some parts and pieces!!

I wasn't able to get out and take many photos at the Lone Star itself since I was in the vendors area trying to convince folks that I am indeed an "artist" with my display of posters ands canvas prints, so I made sure to get plenty of coverage at Reggies place. Hope ya like it."
