    A few years back I had ordered shirts from Hot Rod Hell out of Cali. They were nice shirts but I am unable to find these guys anymore, just wondering what happened to them?

    The skeleton driving the Merc is my favorite shirt. But it's pretty ragged now.

    What's wrong with selling a bunch of t-shirts to finance building Hot Rods? Isn't that what ROTH did?:D

    I never said anything was wrong with it....The story I heard was they had a rod shop and came up with the great logo and shirts and ended up in the Tshirt business more than the car business. I wore one out!
     
  11. Hmm Heaven, is better than Hell anyway........

    Jim is doing a new line of clothing..
    The story he told me some "guy" says he owns the right to the name "hot rod"
    and made him quit using it.(guess he had a BIG lawyer)

    He sent me a copy of a hang tag.
    Hellraiser is the new name.

    I just bought a 37 Zephyr grill from the guy a few months back. He is in Escondito, CA. Still building cars. He said he wasn't doing the t-shirt business much anymore.

    He told me it was a Canadian guy.
    Sent legal cease and stop it notices.
    The fellow honestly believes he owns the name and right to "Hot Rod"

    I saw a pic of the Merc years ago and it said "Where the bad cars go". I never knew there was anything related to it. I thought it was just some bad*** picture. Interesting...

    People can be @$$(*&^%*- Sure he owns the word if I had enough money I would like to challenge his *** into just how does he own the rights to the word HOT ROD. What an idiot.

    Just another d-bag who lives life by peeking over his lawyer's shoulder. I say drop him in the middle of the salt and let him run back as we buzz him in our H** R**s. Sweet salty justice.

    They were cool shirts. Mine don't fit anymore but I still have it. Hopefully he comes out with something new that just as cool.
