    Little Boy Hot Rod

    I've got to admit to being a closet hot rod fancier.
    This thing blows my mind.
    I love it.

          Very cool. I suggested we could use that as inspiration for improving my father's 1910 RR Ghost...

          my father then made a direct comparison between myself and satan...

            Start throwing some acid on the paintwork to get the rust happening a bit faster.
            I've got a big block hemi in the shed and an angle grinder.
            See you in 6 months to start

                  I picked up the book "Hot Rod Milestones" a while back and can highly recommend it if you want to learn a bit about them.

                    Thanks Ryan,

                    I'll have a look for it.
                    The backdate project was going to be my christmas present, but I'm sure I can squeeze something else in.

                      Its a really cool book which concentrates on the 'first' car that had what is now considered to be a major/classic hot rod trend/style/mod etc.

                        Paul, I went through my little stash and my favourite books are:

                        For the lovely images on the salt flats "Hot Rod, the photography of Peter Vincent"
                        Hot Rod
                        http://books.google.com.au/books?id=ynP_J3A07YUC&dq=hot+rod+vincent&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=CGIpQRqGk7&sig=u1mzPcrDjS_Ko8vhJ7NG8rZ01rE&hl=en&ei=OYoxS7m7J5PgswOqz_2HBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false
                        Aesthetics are at the core of hot rodding. And nothing captures the visual essence of the hot rod like Peter Vincent's photography. In brilliant color and fully-saturated black-and-white photography, Vincent will capture America's most essential hot rods, hot rodders, and racers in dramatic settings such as the Bonneville Salt Flats and California's dry lakes - the places from which hot rodders have always drawn inspiration. The majority of the book's photographs will get the same treatment: each will have its own page, surrounded by white space and properly cropped and framed to show off Vincent's photographic artistry. Woven throughout the book, Vincent will tell the story of hot rodding through interviews with the originators of the culture, land speed racers, and the new generation of hot rodders who are keeping alive the aesthetic sensibility of hot rodding.About the AuthorFrom the salt flats of Bonneville to the endless variety of dry lakes and drag strips that dot the American landscape, photographer Peter Vincent magnificently reveals the pure artistry of the cars themselves. Inspired by early associations with Ansel Adams and others, Peter's amazing images have appeared in popular enthusiast publications since the 1980s, including Rodder's Journal, Street Rodder magazine, Hop Up, and in his best-selling book Hot Rod, An American Original in 2001. In addition, Peter's works have been exhibited in museums and galleries from New York to San Francisco. Vincent lives in Moscow, Idaho.


                        A book which profiles some of the prominent builders on the scene "The Art Of The Hot Rod"

                        and "Hot Rod Chronicle" as the name suggests a historical decade by decade overview of the movement featuring the most prominent examples of their era. Sounds a little like Ryan's book.
