HOOD RIVER, Ore. — A kool new Stroker McGurk T-shirt — The Hot Rodder’s Buddy — is now available through www.strokerbymedley.com. The unique design is based on a decal that was included in the three Stroker McGurk plastic model kits sold in the mid-1960s. (More on the kits later.) Strokerbymedley.com showcases the artwork, books, apparel and memorabilia created by Hot Rod Magazine cartoonist Tom Medley. The shirt comes in a tasteful (and slimming) dark grey color, with the original Hot Rodder’s Buddy design applied in a slightly distressed style, adding to the kool factor. Available in M-L-XL-2XL; price is $20 plus shipping. As for the aforementioned Stroker plastic model kits, stay tuned. Defying logic and history, they are in the process of being re-issued. So, dig out your X-Acto knives, tubes of plastic cement, and model paint. Your next hot rod project awaits you. To learn more about TMed, view the documentary, STROKER.
