Halloween is in the air around our office with talk of costume contests and apple cider, and it makes me wonder what's the best dressed hot rod you've seen or owned - one disguised as something else, one sporting amazing paint, or carefully cultivated rust? Let us know at [email protected]. Speaking of the deception of appearances, Tex Smith has some words about race modifications and their real world applications in his column this month. Richard Parks and Roger Rohrdanz review Fifties Flashback, and we take a look at some of the terrific coverage of the NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion this past week, along with the Outstanding Use of Color Award from the NSRA's Southeast Street Rod Nationals. Finally, we look ahead to the upcoming Goodguys Southeastern Nationals in Charlotte, NC and of course, SEMA. We will be there in Hot Rod Alley - Booth #24392! Stop by and see us! Happy rodding! | ||||||
