Who says they don't make sexy engines anymore? Here's a Nelson Racing Engines twin-turbo 427 with wicked bling!

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.

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.

A '36 3-Window par excellence by Ray Dunham

A more "honest" car in the same issue was the '73 XB Ford Falcon Coupe owned and raced since new by actor Eric Bana. At one point, Bana made a documentary about his relationship with this car, and a very interesting DVD it turned out to be.

More discussions about the rat rod look - here referred to under the faddish term "shabby chic" The "before" picture and description, made all the more interesting by the fact that it describes this as a fiberglass car destined for its rusted look I for one say "to each his own", but the reactions to this car after application of its patina are HILARIOUS!
-
Oh, and HRM March 2007 did do a feature article on this car upon completion with some great photos!
