    I am in the middle of pitching a few books to a well-known publisher who asked me to contribute. One will be a photo-only coffee table book, one is about one of my drag racing heroes, the third is a history/guide to "Traditional" hot rods and kustoms. I will be looking for input for the third one from some of you guys because between the group we know a hell of a lot.

    In the meantime I need a title for the "traditional" one. I have a few ideas, but the more brains the better. Submit your ideas and the winning choice will get credit in the book (plus a batch of free copies) if and when it happens.

    Bring 'em on!
     
  2. Come on this post is almost 10 minutes old and I am the only one that has responded.

    Traditional hot rods and kustoms says "Hopped up and Smooooth" to me.

    Hot Rod History, Roots of the Rod, More with Less, Original Speed, Form for Fast...
    Any of the above and then follow with a sub-title like : "A look at traditional hot rods and the people they inspire." Something like that that gives the reader an idea of the what book is about. The title should be an attention getter, the sub-title can be the explaination.

    Look forward to seeing the books, but whatever you do, don't use the word 'flathead' in the title. Immediate loser.
