History Lessons...

[slowpoke]

I know there are classic movies featuring traditional hot rods (American Graf., Hollywood Knights, etc.).

But I'd like to learn about the real story & ppl behind rodding. Any of you oldtimers or even younger types, like me, know of any good documentaries on the roots/history of hot rodding.

I'm cool with book suggestions too but between the HAMB and all the flatty, frame and other build books I'm reading I don't think I could squeeze in anymore.

Thanks.

PS More eye candy than history lesson, I hazzard to guess, but I do have a copy of Evel's MFS on it's way. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
