Can you tell what is going on with the roof of the Lincoln? If I remember correctly about this car, there is a cool trick there.

Apparently the green Lincoln was heavily chopped, and there is a good article on it at https://www.whichcar.com.au/features/chopped-custom-lincoln-premiere

Beyond that, I could not find much on the purple Lincoln

It seems John D'Agostino really liked Lincolns and did some cool things with them. Here is one called Cadinental

Last night I checked out the link. I could get there, but once I went to an issue, I could not get back to the home screen with all the issues unless I closed out and relaoded the link. Any suggestions?

Just PM'd you

1992 Dodge Viper article.

So yes, I like weird!  This one is the AREX sports car by David Stollery and Gale Banks. HRM April 1992

I like this shot from elsewhere too

[ea0863]

And if 1991 was a building year for the big names in hot rods, 1992 was when those builds were shown off. None better than this rendition of the '37 coupe

The names associated with this build - incredible! Ken Fenical of Posies Street Rods putting together a Thom Taylor design and handmade body.

Just a sweet '60 Impala done the way God intended  

[ea0863]

Boyd Coddington Alumacoupe also began in '91 and was presented to the public in '92 (although it must've gotten its moniker at a later time)

HRM July 1992

Sam Foose '34 Ford Roadster. HRM July 1992

[ea0863]

This gullwing 30's coupe has a throwback vibe to the show cars of the 50's and 60's. I like its distinctiveness.  

HRM August 1992

Troy Trepanier '50 Buick Sedanet named "Bumongous". Don't love the name, but totally love the car!

Roy Brizio '32 Ford Roadster with Ferrari V12! HRM December 1992

Such interesting history there! For me at least, that '34 coupe is the very definition of ultimate Hot Rod! Thank you for sharing

Apparently, the car has gone on to have another life too, now owned by Scott Rogers...

Does anyone know of a 1:24 / 1:25 scale model along the lines of this car? Anything like Porkchop's Altered or Rat Fink would be great too.

Good article on Kenny Bernstein's top fuel dragster. HRM January 1993

Big write-up on Chezoom, complete with centerfold poster. HRM January 1993

I like the patina'd look on the Raul De La Torre '50 Cadillac. HRM February 1993

Eddie Van Halen Chevy truck. Tasteful and subdued - - - like his music!  HRM June 1993

There is just something so classic about this '39 Studebaker pickup. 100 years from now, it will still be rolling art. HRM August 1993

[ea0863]

I'm starting to see the beginnings of today's hot rod aesthetic in the 90's builds. One nice example is this '72 Chevy truck done by Tim Sousamian; slammed suspension, non-essentials shaved, ultra-clean lines, two tone paint. 

HRM October 1993

[ea0863]

This small photo caught my attention from an article on the Nationals. HRM November 1993

Very interesting modern interpretation of the lead sled...

Todd Jupiter '65 Corvette. Nothing but attitude coming and going...

Then comes along C.K. Spurlock's '49 Mercury "Merroder"! I never even heard of it before, and yet IMHO it's as beautiful as any other custom hitting the scene at that time. HRM December 1993

[Richard Bartrop]

That looks so much like the Mercury Mark Gustavson had in Scale auto many years ago.

And just when I've gotten tired of Pro Street cars, comes along this sexy beast of a '67 Mustang!

Now that is one nice looking '67, oh yeah!!
