Just signed up today. Started reading Rod and Custom in grade school about 40 years ago and it's still my favorite magazine. First vehicle was a 40 Ford pickup my uncle (who owned a Ford Garage) gave me when I was 15, first car that ran was a '57 Chevy I bought for $150 one weekend my parents were gone when I was 16, second car was a '56 Chevy I bought for $300 when I was 18 which I still have. Would love to have a traditional Hot Rod some day. My favorite hot rod was Bud Bryan's '29 A V-8 Rod and Custom project car.
