So cleanly done and understated I guess you could call it. Would love to have it my garage. I totally agree, the interior is as gorgeous as the exterior! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of a natural place to look for inspiration on new builds, or get information on hot rods of the past... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's free but haven't looked into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's free but haven't looked into it. I guess my question was more for our moderators on this forum, and whether this thread you and I are conversing on could be pinned on the main forum so it would get more attention (and hopefully others' contributions). As for access to Hot Rod Magazine, it is still available free on https://www.motortrend.com/plus/magazines/ . The only "registration" needed is to log on via Google, Facebook, or Apple (or if you prefer, they still offer the option of putting in your email address and creating a password). One or two folks mentioned getting spam as a result of visiting this site, but I have had no such experience. Perhaps other folks could speak to this as well. In any event, thank you for your interest. Edited September 22, 2023 by ea0863 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) While I was checking the Motor Trend site, I noticed the September 2022 magazine just dropped (the site maintains a one year lag to promote paid subscriptions). In it was an interesting article about a custom Corvette from the 1960 Oakland Roadster Show called "Bali Hai" that recently reappeared. I love these oldies, and it seems to me this one is a natural for replication in scale. Edited September 22, 2023 by ea0863 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 BTW, spread the word; Motor Trend has also started offering "Super Street" Magazine free online as well for those more inclined toward tuners and more modern fare! Currently, they have July 2018 through February 2020 available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Just as an aside, if you are signed up and paying for Motortrend+ (the on demand streaming tv service) then the digital magazine is free. I have access to everything, up to the November 2023 issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this issue, there was one article called "How to Build a Street Rod", and showed how the red '32 Ford was built. It was a particularly good article, with lots of photos and showcasing updated technology for that day. A second article was called "How to Build a Street Machine", and again did a good job of showing how the '69 Camaro on the cover was built.

ea0863 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Harley Earl's 1954 Corvette Prototype unearthed and being rebuilt... Never even knew this car existed. What a cool addition to the car's already storied past. HRM October 2022 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eyes, it's kind of like the Vern Luce Coupe meets Alumacoupe HRM December 1983 When I saw this car at World of Wheels in St. Paul back in 83-84 I fell in love with it. It was and will always be my dream rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
