Contents: The New Trend (Street rod builders and their customers are jumping on the musclecar bandwagon. Is this the natural evolution of musclecars that are nearly 40 years old?)

He might even bag another championship.) Feature Story – The Special (Way back in 1957 and 1958, Bob Kirkland and John Teverbaugh built a sports car for Bonneville.

Hot Rod Garage – Six-Speed Automatic (GM’s latest slushbox is trick and may have a place in your older musclecar. Is this the must-have trans swap of the future.), Chevy 302 Buildup (The last of our Win Your Dream Engine buildups may be the neatest one yet. It’s a high-winding small-block Chevy with a Tunnel Ram and manly compression.), Guide To Flatheads (Everything you need to know (and a few things you probably don’t) about the Flathead Ford.), Build A Cobra (Hot Rod and Muscle Car Restorations builds a Factory Five Cobra for Power Tour cruisin’ and editor bashing.
