    The truck falls into the same category as the jeep and assorted rat rods in the same issue....Something to create controversy and sell a few magazines...

    Whats next? A Hot Rod feature on how to build particle board ground effects for you rice burner? Hot Rod has already cut up and trashed a perfectly good corvette, so that one is taken.


    Not for me, but diferent strokes for different folks...

    While the folks at Hot Rod aren't experts, they do have a wealth of knowledge. On that note, ANY car built by someone that gets a cover has got to have something going for it. Whether or not the build is popular doesn't mean shit. The guy put his tools where his mouth was and built a car WORTHY enough for a major automotive magazines cover.

    Diesels not my thing, but hard work and ingenuity are. The man did a great job and it sounds like it's not a trailer queen. That's enough for me. Maybe the people bitchin' should post pics of thier "cover worthy" ride. Few and far between.
