And while we're on the topic of the Kookie T, here it is in all its restored glory - with lots of color photos to aid in any miniature build.

'36 Willys gasser truck.

I'm not big on envy, but I'm totally feeling it here for this car's owner! A '69 Camaro done by up-and-comer Jesus Lopez with exquisite exterior, incredible interior, and a phenomenal engine...

And here is the beast all done!

And with that we have reached the year 2020. If we only knew what was coming, we would have all stocked up on modeling supplies! As for Hot Rod Magazine, it still continued (and continues) to go through changes. It has become more narrowly focused on driving machines, racers, barn-finds, and patina'd vehicles. There is the occasional article about a show car, and has running segments each month on retrospectives, however gone are articles on motorcycles, boats, airplanes, etc. Also gone are virtually any reference to Japanese cars (and most European ones too). It seems to be less due to bias against these other car cultures, and more owing to the fact that specific magazines exist for these genres in their own right. So I guess, all in all, I would have to say that HRM has come full circle to being a magazine for the home garage weekend mechanic and his all-American car. One sad thing that I noticed though is that it has also gone from roughly 150 pages at its zenith to just exactly 100 pages per issue. It makes me wonder how much of this is due to the internet - and how much longer HRM has before it is fully digital itself.

Jordan Quintal II '59 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. Customized in every way possible - including conversion to two-door, and a Pontiac Safari roof - this car is the epitome of artisanship. Plus, it would make for a fun build in scale!

They are too cool! Check out https://robidaconcepts.com/builds/

Ad with the Steve Frisbie '33 "Rennaisance" Roadster. HRM October 2018 Pure hand-crafted jewelry. For more on this build, check out https://www.carbuffnetwork.com/project/1933-ford-roadster-renaissance-roadster/

'62 Chrysler 300. HRM September 2018 I am ambivalent about the patina'd look, but look at that stance! And I love the treatment on the hood. How come more of these cars were not customized? They are gorgeous!
-
Totally irreverent '32 Dodge coupe off-roader. I love it!
-
'48 Shreve Special Indy racer. HRM July 2018
-
'72 AMC AMX custom by Ring Brothers. HRM April 2018
-
Just having fun with you Francis! I LOVE everything you build, regardless of subject matter
-
Randy Grubb's homage to Delage, in the form of the V12 Falconer powered "Dodici". Bellisimo! HRM January 2017
-
'39 Plymouth truck with airplane radial engine built by the Corns family. What a great throwback to the earlier days of hot rodding, and such a fine idea for a scale model! HRM October 2016
-
Yet another ad with a story... HRM September 2016 '39 Olds Series 60 custom by Harold Chapman
-
'68 Charger "Sliced" by the Roadster Shop. 1200 HP gen II Viper V10 under the hood. That'll certainly get Bo and Luke home on time! HRM August 2016
-
A two-part replication build of the Tom Hoover '66 "Fishbowl" top fuel dragster. HRM March 20015 and May 2016.
-
Sometimes one finds the most interesting things in the little ads. Here, a '40 Cadillac custom by John D'Agostino. HRM March 2016 From the "inter-web";
-
From an upcoming auction advertisement, comes this beauty - the Boyd Coddington "French Connection". HRM March 2016
-
An ad showing the Chip Foose 2015 Ridler Award winner '65 Impala named "Impostor". HRM March 2016 IMHO, this is one of the most beautiful cars ever (although I am sure it is partially due to my attachment to the Impalas of that generation). As soon as I'm done with the posts for this topic, I shall be returning to my WIP of this stunning vehicle.
-
I saw this and thought how hilarious it was! Then I wondered to myself whether anyone makes a scale model of the Smart Car so I can give it the same hot rodding treatment
-
'62 Ford F-100 by Randy Weaver. Every angle is more beautiful than the last. HRM January 2016 I saw this and immediately thought of our friend @AmericanMuscleFan on this forum! His last '62 Ford pickup build was stunning! How about another '62 build Francis?
-
Going off in a different direction, HRM December 2015 had an ad containing the Italdesign Brivido. I liked its good looks, and could see the sidelight treatment applied to many other cars.
