It was 1966 when three hot rod impassioned Aussies headed to the states for what would be a trip of a lifetime. The resulting photos and stories are nothing less than incredible. Check it out.

The Aeromobile
I know this is pretty much entirely off-topic, but I just can’t help myself. Finkbuilt, a blog that I really dig, recently published a little article on the history of these crazy contraptions. I think these guys were getting air a few years before the Barris & Roth show cars of the 60′s… Cool, huh?
Friday Art Show
It amazes how the Friday Art Show tradition has grown. We have people that register on the H.A.M.B. simply to be a part of it these days… Pretty damn cool to have so much talent gathered for the simple reason of enjoying each other’s work. This week’s show is pretty damned impressive. All the regulars have contributed and [...]
Take A Ride
Just over 200mph on the salt. Enjoy the view and the sounds… For more, check out the North of 49 website here.
The Don Garlits Museum
Glenn takes us on a photographic tour of the Don Garlits museum… If you haven’t been, this is post could very well be the next best thing. Check it out.
Two

[...]
Smokin’ Deal
What looks like a pretty straight ’41 merc with a nice little 331 Hemi can be had for a mear $7500. Not a bad deal at all considering all the good stuff this old car comes with… And at that price you’ll be able to afford that Olds waterfall grille up front and still have [...]
Full Custom 1954 Chevrolet
Now this is a mid to late 50′s custom that I can truly dig on. Laurie Peterson of Canada Customs and Hot Rods put it together for “Custom54” over a period of 365 days. Packard tails out back, Olds buckets up front, ’56 Chevy front and rear bumpers, rounded hood corners, subtle chop, nice shave (leaving the [...]
Barry Mazza
You might remember Rikster’s first report on the Barry Mazza collection found here. Well, it seems like he has dug his head back into the archives and found a few more shots for us to enjoy. This batch is incredible and includes some great candid color shots. Enjoy fellas…
