HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK |
||||||
We've been busy here at Hot Rod Hotline! We just got back from Back to the Fifties and Power Tour before that so we're wiped out. We also had a few technical issues this week, as many of you who send in car shows may have noticed, but that's finally fixed thanks to our great tech team and we look forward to cruisin' through the summer with all of your terrific show coverage. This week we bring you coverage from Back to the Fifties, Mitzi Valenzuela's Tennessee Travels, a Rat Fink rod from Gunner, and Tex Smith gives us his take on the big changes going on over at enthusiast magazine giant Source Interlink, publisher of Hot Rod, Motor Trend, etc. We've gotten some requests lately to re-invigorate the Rodder's Forum, so we'll start including questions in the newsletter when they come in. Got a question for Rodder's Forum, or anything else? Let us know at [email protected].
