    Juat have to say I got my Throttle book today and I have spent the last hour or so going through it. For those on this website who get a clue about what it's about I recommend this book. It may not have been many issues but has always been a missing part of Hot Rod history to me that has always remained elusive.

    Thrilled to finally have this book in my hands. Thanks TRJ
    Book#157

    Got it yesterday. Is it weird that while I was reading it, I placed a paper towel over each hand so I wouldn't get fingerprints all of it?

    Yeah, now that I see this is print, it is weird.

  25. I asked what number they were on when I ordered mine and they said they are no longer numbered because they sold outta those like 6 months ago or something. But hey its something that I have wanted for awhile and its on its way now.-Weeks

Shoot TRJ just came 2 weeks ago, Garage, Traditional Rod and Kulture, and now my Throttle book. Not to mention a old flathead book and model T book I been reading. Danget lol. Good times.-Weeks
