I have had 2rods a T and an A, and one kustom, 51 Nash pIck up...both rods have had features in Street Rodder and Custom Car (UK) and the T has also been in Street Machine...The Nash as also been in both CC and SM.. The A was also in a random DVD a mate gave me a copy of (an I had no idea I was in!!) and of cause it's in Rad Rods DVD !!!

 

I built the cover car,Jan 07, American Rodder. 32 3w."True Blue Deuce" .

 

Had a little feature on my T powered touring in Hop Up #4. Sold it to another hamber who I think still has it and last I heard was driving the snot out of it.

 

Not a feature, but my car has shown up in Trad Rod and Kulture, the Gazzette and in Wizzz. The shop has been in Hot Rod.

But Thats not Famous,

Famous is when atracive young women ask you to sign their ****S..!!!

 

My 15 seconds of fame......Chuck Vrannas took this shot of my car for Street Rodder, but as usual, I didn't fill out the window sticker, so I didn't get my name in the mag. I was just happy that he liked it.

 

Ive had a shop tour done in Custom Rodder as well as the Cool Cars and Hot Happenings mag of the Right Coast. One of my current Customers was in Car Craft last month too. MY personal ride has been in Speed & Chrome's burnout section as well as the Driving Force magazine put out by SEMA and a bunch of other smaller publications. Not bad for a guy whose shop is only about 3 years old.....

 

My Buick has been on Washington Post... Funny thing 'cause I'm living (and cruisin'...) here in Finland!
Here is the pic;


Well ok, gotta admit, it was Washington Post blog, but I'd be interested to know that was it in printed version also?
Here is the story behind that picture;

What am I, chopped liver?

 

Yeah, and who started the ball rolling at Indy with a certain muddy Roadster??? More chopped liver over here!

 

HUMMMM ...Chopped liver in popular culture

Because of its unusual taste and gray appearance, it is an acquired taste and not a favorite or comfort food with everyone at the dinner table. This has given rise to the popular Jewish-American expression "What am I, chopped liver ?", signifying frustration or anger at being ignored on a social level.

 

Yes.

 

My red and white 35 Chevy Coupe was featured in WIZZZ mag Vol 1 # 4 and was in it again Vol 2 # 4, also in a dvd of the Hunnert car Pileup when An interview was being done with Voodoo Larry. Was also in another mag done by Fuzzy Fuerholzer at the Oglesby A&W. I would like to get a copy of that one. Not sure on the ***le though.

 

Ratstu, your truck completely inspired my build-up! I think, by far, your truck is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I'd love to see more of it... plus if you don't mind I'd like to ask you a few questions since I am a novice. I'd like to do things right the first time.

 

a car i helped build (51ratt's old plymouth)got a full page article about how rusty the floor was, haha. it was the only thing on the car we could care less about fixing! to busy driving it!

 

Man O Man!!! That is soooo funny I can't stop laughing. Wish I had that magazine so I could see the picture.

My alcoholic friend's car was in the CHP magazine as the wreck of the month, does that count?

 

Nothing that anyone here will remember but in the early 60's our cars got alot of ink in Car Craft, Hot rod and Car Craft. The reference was tech articles about engine prep and drag suspension setup on stock and super stock drag cars. Roger Huntington used to use our cars as reference in some of his tech articles. The crown jewel for me was being quoted in a large coffee table book about drag racing when we were interviewed after setting a record at York Pennsylvania in B/S. the quote is with none other than Bill Jenkins and it's reference to blue printing the "new" big block Chevy engine. I could never afford the book but went to the library and read it years later.

 

oh yeah, i remember my grandpa talkin about that when i was a boy!

 

My 57 Dodge was featured in a Pizza Hut print ad. I never got a copy of it though.

 

I'm in this month's (february) Hemmings. page 68.

 

My Bonneville racer model A sedan is in this months issue of car kulture deluxe, Roger Jetter snapped the pics and wrote a great article.

 

My truck has been in StreetScene a few times now. Been in the background of a American Rodder a couple years back. Never a feature though.
