Description
Contents: Rodz Features & Tech – The Rumblers Kustom Hills And Hot Rod Thrills (New York in August is a mess of sweat and slime. Combined with the car-eating pot holes, tooth-rattling bridge expansion joints and the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and you have the backdrop to the annual Rumblers Kustom Kolls and Hot Rod Thrills Show); Getting Drilled – How To Drill Holes (An article about drilling holes? Are we nuts? Not the last time we checked. If you’ve ever drilled a hole into something, bolted it down, then had the damned thing break or fall off a few days or miles later, you’re probably looking at an article of interest); Jim Radtke’s Stude (Jim Radtke has been building rods since high school in 1966. The man has been around awhile and knows his stuff as you can tell from this fine specimen, a ’42 Stude); Chevillac (Bobby has just gotten off a five month stint on crutches after a bad wreck on his Shovelhead. He was looking to get into a car since the docs told him that his two-wheeling days were over for good. Bobby scored a sweet deal on this 1952 Chevy Fleetline last winter); Chop A ’40 Fordor Part 2 (This is the second installment to the top chopping series on Eddie Paul’s 1940 Ford Fordor. See OSR #11 for the first installment); Drive-Invasion 2005 Dixie Fried Style (Filled with more DIY attitude than you can shake a stick at, the annual Drive-Invasion is a celebration of horsepower, sonic assault and classic Hollywood trash as only the Dirty South could provide); Rust Rocket – Early Riders ’27 T Dragster (Every once in a while you’ll find a hot rod that combines breathtaking beauty and jaw-dropping performance. This isn’t that hot rod. As cool as it looks, this rust-encrusted T doesn’t fit anybody’s definition of pretty. But that was never the plan); Bonneville (The Bonneville Salt Flats, the mecca for racing enthusiasts, is Utah’s most beautiful natural wonder and one of the world’s most incredible sights); Cheater Carl’s ’29 Roadster (We all know what Milwaukee is famous for – Harley-Davidson, Pabst Blue Ribbon and (of course) cheese. But there’s also Carl Urbaniak’s ’29 Model A Standard Roadster); Mick Silvio’s Knuck Bobber (When one uses the word bobber, Mike Silvio’s period perfect ’47 Knucklehead is what you should be describing. This bike alone puts Cyclemo’s Motorcycle Museum in Nashville, Tennessee on another level); Tattooed Cuban Trailer Trash (Whatduh hell is “Tattooed Cuban Trailor Trash”? A wickedly funny Jason Sanabia perched in a modified ’36 Ford cab made of “Genuine Satanic Parts and trash-salvage from a totaled ’64 Buick”); Crash Of The Model A (The hot rod was destroyed. We were alive and scared, but it will take more than a wayward Buick to kill us); Rock Star Rod (When Paul Galaxy takes center stage to strike up a rockabilly tune with his band, you’d better know everyone in his audience pays attention. And when Paul cruises his way into a rod run, everyone in the parking lot pays attention, too); Riveted And Ready (It only took Jim Benitez three months to finish this neat little ’28 pickup); Seattle Blessing Of The Cars (Rat Rod is acting up? Possessed with Demons? You gotta get your ride blessed by a real ordained minister. Come one, come all, to the Seattle Blessing of the Cars. Salvation for your ride in 2005); Movin’ Man’s ’50 Chevy Pick ‘Em Up Truck (Rob Stannard is a movin’ man that’s paid his dues hauling ass all over the country in big rigs, gettin’ the goods from Point A to Point B. Being a man of the road, he had some strong ideas about what he wanted as a daily driver); Jalopy Jump And Jive (A perfect follow-up to the Ramblers show in NYC was the 3rd Annual Jalopy Jump & Jive, held in Asbury Park, New Jersey) Departments – Back Fire – Letters; The Lowdown – Editorial; Greezy’s Tech Tricks; Ol Skool Philosophy Class; Drivin’ Around – Events; Kar Tunes – Music; Rodz Merchandise; Happy Daz’; New Kool Stuff; Burnin’ Rubber
