Well here we go. this is posted for the 19 of y'all that get it . Last thus day I sat with anticipation at an undisclosed address waiting with anticipation for a small truck to show up with 2 pallets of GOW. Low and behold in rolled an 18 wheeler with a driver , you know the type. road warn and weary from his long trip from Utah. This hot load of freight carried our collective savings and blood and guts. I pointed to where the goods were supposed to be deposited and the driver shook his head as he jumped in his seat to back the truck up. we held up a huge mass of traffic yelling and waving their fists as we pulled the pallets down and secured them in the unit. 2 pallets in 2 hours, sheesh I think we hand unloaded them faster last time. As the driver drove away all I could think of was ripping into a case and seeing what was what. Its like christmas for a guy like me . something you have worked so hard on for so long , finally a tangible object. the smell oh the sweet smell of american made glue sealing the pages we made together. . I was impressed yet again. I think these damn things are getting better each time. for those that get "it" will defiantly love it . We do this for all you guys out there that do . Its our offering to the hotrod gods. Its Hop Up just little old Hop Up.

Very nice issue! Some really impressive photographs of some REALLY impressive hot rods. Can't wait to sit down and actually READ the words. hahaha!
Got Hop Up #4 today. This time they outdid themselves on getting it to me, and if I'm going to get on them when they mess up, I'll also tell you when they get it right! IMO, #4 is the best one so far.
Hop Up is quickly becoming my favorite publication. No offense to the others out there. They're just striking a note with me.
