Jay Leno's over-the-top turbine powered "Eco-Jet"
-
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!
-
To be rounded out by a very cool home-made sports car. What made this one particularly interesting is the ingenious way the builder incorporated the cockpit area of a '93 Camaro into his creation.
-
And, a tricked out '63 Austin Healey 3000 MkII
-
Then, quite possibly the sweetest looking car to ever grace the pages of HRM; a Volvo P1800S hot rod! This one has already got me looking for scale models
-
Next up, a fascinating '35 Chevy done up like a circle-track racer
-
HRM March 2007 was titled "Dare to be Different", and had some phenomenal - and different - cars to be sure! The cover had the '73 Camaro racer known as "F-Bomb". This car gets a nod from me based on name alone
-
Don Stellhom's '64 Pontiac GTO race car. HRM December 2006
-
A little blip on the movie "Cars" which was just hitting theaters in 2006. I totally think this movie belongs in any car movie collection, and to prove my point - here is a photo of Lightning McQueen being displayed at the Petersen Automotive Museum!
-
What a fun article on a great car! The '51 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe racer known as "Chicken Hawk" - apparently raced for over 40 years, and a genuine 10 second car with attitude to match! HRM August 2006
-
BTW; for those wishing to wade into the deep end of the pool and make their own Cadzzilla, I found a great site with a ton of photos showing how Craig Naff did the body starting with a 1948 Cadillac Sedanette... https://www.customcarchronicle.com/forums/topic/cadzilla-the-craig-naff-files/ p.s. I also looked it up, and the correct spelling of the car apparently is "CadZZilla".
-
Nice article on Craig Naff - dubbed the Quiet Craftsman - ostensibly because of the wonderful work he had done, and yet how little his name was known. I couldn't agree more, as I too was unaware this was the gentleman that did the bodywork on a myriad of famous cars, including Cadzzilla and Smoothster. Here in the forefront was a stretched '33 Roadster with removable hardtop. HRM August 2006 Here is the car at the 2007 Detroit Autorama

So cool to learn these things! Thank you
-
I just learned another great term; "Underslung" Is that actually a frame turned upside-down? This whole look is cool, and what a fun build it would make!
-
And the centerfold for the issue was the incredible Holden Efijy. The article again contained all kinds of photos of this stunner!
-
Fourth up was the Year One '69 Mustang known as "Blackened".
-
Then came an article on builder Bobby Alloway and his Ridler contenders; a couple of '32 Roadsters and a '57 Thunderbird.
-
Next up was a Kreations Auto Body '70 'Cuda re-kreation. The article had the full build and photos - great stuff to reference for a scale build.
-
In the 90's, Hot Rod Magazine proudly presented their swimsuit issue each April. This went by the wayside after a while, but in April 2006, HRM put out what IMHO was the sexiest issue in a long time! It began with a retrospective on the '65 Dodge Coronet NASCAR stocker driven by Lee Roy Yarbrough in 1965.
-
I love that movie!
-
Now THAT's a car that would be fun to show up at a car show with! HRM January 2006 Rob Ida Concepts did complete the build awesomely And it looks like they're still building great stuff (although there seems to have been all kinds of courtroom drama about this recreation - just like the original car had) https://robidaconcepts.com/builds/

Just ordered the Super Stock
