the Alviso Roadster at the Ventura Nats 2012

Cool hot rods from the LA Roadster show 2012


These may be genuine Woodlite headlights, as hard as that is to believe, but I don't think anyone is making reproductions. They look pretty damn good on a hot rod though!

Kustom Kulture is going to have a tv show from authentic gearheads, about the culture of hot rodding


Driven Kustom Culture TV official 2012 teaser trailer from Set To Stun Productions

Set to Stun is by the guy that runs Traditional Rod and Kulture Illustrated. One of my favorite magazines

The 3rd annual Fiesta De Kustom Kulture car and low brow art show







this example of late 50's design is a good example of how the modern design copies the best of the old designs, and how the new side mirrors only seem to differ by being made of plastic, and are mounted on the door instead of the fender. I wonder if you had a better view with a mirror on the fender, or now have a better view with the mirror on the door
