Hot Rod Ramblings: Mild Customs

It's been too long since I rambled on about Hot Rods and Customs, I mean Kustoms. My crazy car brain has gone down the path of "Mild Customs". I'll say it right now, the car that really got me started digging Customs was Nick Hoesing's ex-Ford Galaxie I scoped at Bonneville last year. Peep it below... Then I picked up a Rodders Journal that featured Kirk Jones' 1960 Ford Starliner. Our camera man Swanee grabbed this first pic at last years Grand National Roadster Show. This 'Liner blew me away!!! I pulled that TRJ #45 out again last night to re-read the story and stare at ...

So, February in Utah isn't a great time to bust out the street driven Gasser, you'd think, but the owner of this '55 Gasser called "Hemi Hunter" gets a big high 5 for doing just that. Of course, it is the warmest day since November 22, it was a balmy 46. Ha ha I've got no info except for the pics I took. But its a gorgeous example of an early 60's Gasser built to run on the street. This car was immaculate! Cherry black paint, all the correct Gasser mods, like radiused rear fender, bumperless, big long tube headers, no ...

Chandler Car Show Shines Downtown

Overcast skies and the threat of actually having to wear a jacket didn't deter a great crowd from downtown Chandler, Arizona on February 27, 2010. For all the pictures I took click here. I figured I'd lead with this Willys gasser. I waited for a few minutes to snap this shot with just a few legs in still walking by. It was pretty big crowd! Even stacked with great cars, I picked this one as my favorite just for it's sheer gasser badness. Those who disagree are simply wrong! While you're looking at this picture, notice the air scoops on the front ...
