Hot Rods 40 feature... Thanks Damon Lee and Rod&Custom Mag.

Congrats Gary and great car hope to see it in person.......thanks for posting the cover I shot the top right corner photo and didn't know it was going to be there lol

 

What will it take to get mine autographed? Congrats on the coverage.....

Happy Trails, Mick

 

40s rule, congratulations.

 

Congrats on the well deserved coverage!

I'll have to see if I can round up a copy at lunch today. Can't wait for my ride in the '40!

 

More thanks to all of you for your comments.
I have to say after going back and reading the article a couple times....... well more like 10. It's cool to see how Damon actually makes me look like I know what I'm doin, and I really appreciate that. More so it made me think back about how and where I came to love these 60's era hot-rods and customs and there timeless appeal. Going back 20 years or better the one person that constantly comes to mind is Gary Gerberding and his wife Liz. Garys custom style just stuck in my head (white firewalls, 59 Impala steering wheels,chrome wheels,cal-custom, and subtle mods) and I still believe he is one of the best in the buissness, although he has slowed down a bit and is now semi-retired. So Gary and Liz thanks for your influence and for being my friends. Gary

 

Great '40.....Damon is a great, down to earth guy!

 

Just got my R&C - wow! what a beautiful '40. Nice job, Gary. vic

 

Just received mine, as well. You nailed the theme!!

 

Just got my copy in the mailbox today...Well done, Gary! Ya' nailed it!!

 

grats got mine yesterday! Sweet ride

 

just had a chance to look it over myself. What a nice car. Change nothing.

Rod & Custom has really been knocking it out of the park month after month lately. Its good to see a quality magazine back up to its old standards.

Good for you!

 

here is a picture in the first "badass hot rod" version, before "date night" version. I jsut love this car! We have had a few cool hot rod trips last year, hopefully we can put many more miles down this year! Lets hit the road Gary.

Can't wait for the streets to clear up and hit the road. It's always fun runnin around with you listening to your flathead tearin-it-up. Gary

 

Congrats! Beautiful car....

 

Congratulations. Car looks great, but then, I'm partial to black 40 coupes!

 

Congrats....always make one feel great to get your ride in print.....nice car!

 

Got my R&C in the mail yesterday. Great insperation for my 38 Coupe. Even though it's a Chevy. Todd

 

Congrats, that car pushes all of my*****ons.
Had a nice '40, and sold it.
Now wish I hadn't.
That was my favorite car in that issue.

 

Gary,
I like the Bad**** version but absolutely love Date Night. It brings back memories of when I first started to by Rod and Custom--the little size ones.
I need lots pf people to buy front engine dragsters from me so that I can afford to build one like it.

Roo

 

Congrats, Gary!
It's cool that you are currently making improvements to the car, too. The new 5-speed and clutch slave will make it even more enjoyable to drive!
