    I know, like I don't do enough already- but I'll be right there with you to see if I passed or failed when I explainthe origin of the pre-war American hot rod and it's eventual metamorphasis into the street rod- and then back to traditional hot rods. My on-air debut is part of an episode on the History Channel's "Modern Marvels" series that focuses on "Custom Cars". It premiers Monday Dec. 5 at 8pm. I haven't seen it yet so I don't know how much or little is on hot rods. I know they talked to other rodders, but also some lowrider guys and others. Even if I suck I got to share the screen with Jimmy White's bitchin '32 Roadster that's at least worth tuning in for.

    You are dreaming if you think the camera adds a hundred pounds, better hit the gym, Jim. I sure hope you had your story straight.

    I don't know Jim, you're up against "Walker Texas Ranger" and "Wife Swap". It'll be tough to pass up one of those gems just to see your ugly mug.

    Jim,
    If you are as smooth on TV as you are riding a Stingray you'll be up for an Emmy. Looking forward to some great television. Is Shameless Self-Promotion is another way to say Ego?

    Nice StingRay. I guess it's better exercise than the golf cart you got stuck in the mud in Charlotte for GG that one year.

    Food is kinda an obvious choice! But goods pics of your hot rod work almost as good.
