Art & Inspiration - Hot Rod QuarterlyArt & Inspiration
Just went to the mailbox and there was the first Hot Rod Quarterly, Spring edition. At just a glance this issue is mostly about the old Pro Street movement. Not very exciting for me. Hope there's better things to come? -

Technical - I think I went too low…40 ford 5 windowTechnical
I’m so close to my car moving on its own power! But I hit a snag (of course). I installed all of the sheet metal and it looks like my front tires are going to hit the fenders when turning. I think I went too low. I love the look but I want it to be drivable. I need... -

Projects - Picking up a new old car 55 Plymouth.Projects
A little back story first. When me and a good friend were about 19 and 20 I was building my first hot rod and he was building a mild custom 55 Plymouth Savoy 4 door.
