HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK |
||||||
We're in Minnesota this weekend for the Back to the '50s show! Come by and say hello if you're at the show and pick up some sweet Hot Rod Hotline stickers while you're at it! We're in the Merchandise Mart, just like last year! We participated in the Hot Rod Power Tour for the first time last week and you can read all about our adventures across 1,600+ miles and 7 cities in our recaps below. Also this week, guest columnists Tex and John teach us about hot rod industry trends, Clint Powell brings us the tale of a '55 Oldsmobile, and we review the film "This is Long Beach." If you've got questions about restoring or building your hot rod, don't forget that you can email [email protected] with the subject "Rodder's Forum" and we'll post the questions to the hot rod community. There's a wealth of knowledge out there; you just have to ask! Keep on roddin'! - The staff at Hot Rod Hotline |
