Seth Hammond Number 77 Bonneville racer.

Okay, we'll call this one a "modified" '56 Peterbilt Plenty of photos in the article for a good build.

Oh, and remember that truck I saw in an ad in 2003, but couldn't figure out what it was? HRM September 2009 had this little nugget that unraveled the mystery: I looked up Mike Cooper (aka Lodi Madman), and learned he is an artist and woodworker primarily, and likes to sculpture things - including vehicles. Here, he had done a beautiful dash for Dick Long's '37 Ford Cabriolet. However, in another instance, he turned his attention to a '33 Ford truck which was named "Tubester". And when you look it up, voila - the truck from the ad appears, as rad as ever! This is the wood dash: And this is the wood bed with radiator and air ducts: I reallylike the juxtaposition of heavy metal and hard lines meeting organic shapes and natural materials.

It's so funny to see over the years how car drawings in HRM would eventually become reality. It speaks to just how influential the magazine was to the sport. In that vein, September 2009 offered up some more tantalizing sketches hoping for a builder.

A total blast from the past; The Gilmore Roadster. Everything about this racer is funky kool!

Warning: The following car may cause dizziness, nausea, or heart palpitations in some. As for me, I'd like to take a spin please! And yes, under the hood is a Toyota 2JZ motor putting out 850HP!

Article on the Ring Brothers '69 Camaro named "Razor".

Doing a little more research, I discovered a discontinued Factory Five car called the "Daytona Spyder". It looks like a great shape to me, and something I would love to recreate in scale.

The Poteet & Main "Speed Demon" Bonneville Racer. HRM October 2008

Model Cars Magazine issue #217 just arrived in my mail yesterday, and its theme was race car haulers (great issue by the way!) In honor of this theme, here is the Tommy Ivo hauler pictured in HRM September 2008. Looks like another fun build idea to me...

Here was a little pitch for the Petersen Automotive Museum, with a photo of the only car I know as long as the Blastolene! I've seen this car (technically called the 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe) in said basement of the museum, and it is HUGE It would be so great to build in scale.

So the word is Zeus wanted a fast ride, and told Hermes to design it for him (on account of his winged shoes and all). What came out was the otherworldly Blastolene B-702 - which as it turns out, truly was a car fit for a god! The photos of this car in the article are incredible. I mean really? - - - this thing is nearly 20 feet long! Has anyone attempted this car in scale?

Sketches by Steve Stanford in HRM June 2008. I particularly like the Plymouth Duster UTE. Here a Duster turned Lead Sled, and another a Highboy. Both sweet! Some tricked out Fox bodies (the mid engine version appeals most to me) Beautiful roadsters and C-cab And last but not least, some variations on the first generation Monte Carlo

The second car coming out of Detroit was the GM E85 Coupe built by Wheel to Wheel of Madison Heights. Wow!
-
HRM April 2008 also had an article on two hot rods out of Detroit. The first was the Chrysler SR 392 built by Shadow Rods of Saginaw. Just the epitome of gorgeousness IMHO.

BIg news in April 2008 that AMC was coming back - - - which did not materialize. However, the artwork in this article was quite inspiring

Well, I am now up to my 22nd scale model since starting my review in November of Hot Rod Magazine Online This purchase started out with an article in HRM November 2004 of the '64 Dodge Charger concept: @keyser was kind enough to let me know that I could base this build on an old Jo-Han model: And a little searching on this forum showed two who have built this very same model: And the WIP:

Article on the return of the S.Co.T. supercharger, and all new parts for the flattie. Great photos as a bonus! HRM October 2007

Great feature article on Hemisfear in HRM July 2007 with lots of drawings and photos.
