TRJ Issue #87

TRJ #87 has finally reached completion. Subscriber copies are at the mailing house and we have single copies available for shipping from our office in Denton, Maryland. We couldn’t be more excited to share the content we’ve created for this issue. Feature cars run the gamut of traditional rodding, customizing and racing, including historic restorations; Pete Eastwood’s “Samurai” Top Fueler and Rich Hubbard’s Barris-built Tom Hocker Forty and a pair of time-capsule Deuce roadsters belonging to our friends from Texas, Steve Wertheimer and “Flat Top Bob” Owens. We also explore Cody Walls’ concept custom ’49 Buick and Andy Volpini’s road warriors, a ’40 Ford coupe and F-100 pickup. We also feature our old friends Bobby Alloway and Gay Case’s relatively new event, The Triple Crown of Rodding, held in the Nashville, Tennessee area. Jay Fitzhugh delves into the detailed world of traditional hot rod hardware and fasteners and noted automotive designer Larry Erickson’s shares his take on Bonneville racing history. And in our Parts is Parts feature we showcase the aluminum heads and assorted pieces that Jack Chisenhall developed for the Red Ram Hemis.
