Description
Contents: Rodz Features & Tech – Bill Hulit’s ’32 Ford (A couple of years ago, Bill Hulit decided that enough was enough, he sold his garage business and retired…albeit retired with the sole intention of working full-time on his beloved ’32 Ford hot rods); Viva Las Vegas (Viva Las Vegas has become the place to be for traditional hot rodders. People drive thousands of miles in their rods to attend – to see and be seen at Viva. This year was no different); Two Friends With The Same Tastes (Kustom Mercurys! It was a kind of off-hand comment by Bo Huff that drew the magazine’s attention to two low-slung Mercurys on display at the Ventura Swap Meet and Car Show); Early Ignition Basics Part 2 (Be sure not to miss out on this exciting sequel by Josh Mills); Paint N’ Primer (About 100 or so cars cruised into John Metalf Park in Fountain, ColoRODO. Jusat sough of ColoRODO Springs, at the invitation of Back Street Kustoms owner Dave Pareso for his 4th Annual Paint n’ Primer event); Most Likely To Get…Pulled Over? (Ever wonder why cops pull over the coolest cars? It’s so they can get a better look without busting themselves, that’s why. And so it was for Harley Riker and his 1940 Plymouth truck known as the “Chrome Angel”); Twin Spin (Rarely do we find ourselves standing in the path of salt spray from the rear whitewalls of a ’38 Studebaker truck and a ’39 Chevy truck digging into wet salt. It stings worse than you think. Like in the aftermath of a third grade snowball ambush, we wiped the salt from our faces and cameras, beginning to understand the nature of Bonneville); Bo Huff’s Custom Car Zone Museum (On a recent trip to Utah, we stopped by Bo Huff’s Museum in East Carbon and were amazed at not only the quanity, but the quality of what we saw); Outkast’s Cruise In And Hot Rod Show (It all took place on the sweeping prairie at a place called Mitchel, South Dakota. It’s the home of the one and only Corn Palace. Main Street was filled with some of the Upper Midwest’s finest hot rods, rat rods and custome); Zippo Man’s ’48 F1 (When a beautiful lady asks you “Got a light?”, you’d better have some matches, boys. If you don’t, you may have lost the perfect opportunity to meet a hot dame. Shame on you. A Zippo man always comes prepared and is never caught without a light); Shop Tour – Streamline (We get to visit some really cool places and meet some fellow gearheads once and a whle. One of those occassions presented itself recently during a trip to Denver, Colorado. While in the Mile High City, we stopped in to visit the store, plant and warehouse for Streamline Auto Parts and Gennie Shifters); Chip-O-Rama (On a Friday morning, July 29th, 2005, that first “it’s-too-late-to-chicken-out-now” cut was made on Jeff Wendt’s ’51 Chevy twice door by the legendary kustomizer Bill Hines); Eddie Paul’s Rat Rod Wrecker (We all missed Eddie Paul last issue. But he does have a good excuse…he was building a Mater, the rat rod wrecker that stars in Pixer’s new animated film, CARS); The Rockabilly Rave ’06 (So what if the weather’s usually hot and sunny in California and Vegas? Try attending a four-day Rockabilly show on the South coast of England in the middle of English winter with the wind whipping in from the sea and temperatures hovering around freezing point. That’ll sort out the real rockabillys from the weekend wannabees, yes sirree) Departments – Back Fire – Letters; The Lowdown – Editorial; Greezy’s Tech Tips; Philosophy Class; Drivin’ Around – Events; Rodz Merchandise; Kar Tunes – Music; Happy Daz’; New Kool Stuff; Burnin’ Rubber
