The reason why we love a certain type of car usually is a very personal story. Some of us discovered a car in a hot rod magazine when we were young. Others had a neighbor with a cool car. And chances...
I met her at the Burger King We fell in love by the soda machine So we took the car downtown The kids were hanging out all around Then we went down to Coney Island On the coaster and around again And...
It's not just that I have a soft spot for 1980s hard rock album titles. But this car truly is an East Coast build, even though it now resides in Southern California and is owned by Matt Kimmel and hi...
Somehow I have to make it back to Ventura next year. The art show held on Friday night is just one of the reasons. Check out this neat little clip from B Free Media on Vimeo. And turn up the volume.
Things are not always what they seem. Or would you have guessed that this 34 Coupe lives behind the sliding doors of this modernist dream house garage? So it won't come as a surprise either that it s...
Click on one of the pictures and use the arrow keys to get Dylan's Impala moving.
It felt like summer was trying to say sorry for the messed-up past few months, so the weather couldn't have been better for the annual Open House at Custom Parts & Wear. Everyone – and I say everyone...
For a long time, Lincolns have been a customizer's favorite. From mild to wild, from a late 30s Zephyr to a mid 60s Continental. But actually, they don't need much improvement. With their long sleek ...
There's a certain mystique that surrounds those survivors, barn finds and one-family-owned hot rods. It's not just that they allow you a glimpse into the way they did it back in the day. Most of thos...
Almost 200 traditional hot rods racing on one of the nicest stretches of beach in the United Kingdom – this combination is tough to beat. And it gets even better since the action doesn't just take ov...
When I hear about someone being a fan, I usually think of screaming teenage girls. Or soccer fans. Or dinosaur fans. But I would never ever consider myself being a fan. Of anything. Except maybe for ...
Just another unreal moment at the Pendine Sands Hot Rod Races 2014.
The annual Hangar Rockin' festival is slowly turning into some kind of love/hate thing. Just like most successful events do, it keeps growing bigger and bigger – which, as we all know, doesn't necess...
Sometimes, life just needs a little more salt.
Attending a car show without bringing an own car always feels a little weird. Nevertheless I had a fun afternoon at the Rumblers BBQ 2014 in Gladbeck, Germany. The BBQ was held around the machine hal...
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,So do our minutes hasten to the end;Each changing place with that which goes before.In sequent toil all forward do contend.Nativity, once in the main ...
Took the 49 out for a little test drive. With new tires, plugs, and fresh oil. And it seemed like it all worked together just fine.
I like old cars. And I like friendly people. Even more so, I like the places where these two things congregate. The Tattoo Convention during the Trashtown Festival in Baden, Switzerland was one of th...
Much has been said and written about Chris Casny's chopped 1950 Shoebox Ford. It was featured in magazines and there's an extensive build thread on the HAMB. So, you may ask why the hell am I posting...
Easter holiday usually means having to hang out with family members you haven't seen in a long time (which actually never bothered you). And for eating too much of not very healthy stuff. Luckily we ...
I'm a magazine guy. There's nothing like the look and feel and smell of printed paper. So, the news that there's gonna be a fresh Kustom Car Magazine from Germany got me all excited. And when the edi...
This, gentlemen, is a personal recommendation. Because if you're here on this blog or website, you clearly dig traditional hot rods and kustoms. Chances are also that you're interested in seeing fres...
Some of you may remember this radical 1934 Ford pick-up truck from the Suede Palace at this year's GNRS. I for myself remember running into its owner and builder Ian Loska at my buddy Eric's shop as ...
