Just happened to be in Southern California on a weekend that coincided with the El Segundo Police Officers Association 13th Annual Main Street Car Show. I’ve attended before and I really like this kind of car show where the main street in town is blocked off and you get to leisurely wander while viewing the [...]

The most complete Hot Rod book ever written! 250+ pages comprehensively reveal every detail of how to build a T-Bucket roadster from everyday materials and junkyard parts. Build it yourself and save thousands of dollars compared to a T-Bucket kit car or searching all over for a T-Bucket “For Sale” — while customizing it to [...]
