Hot Rod Magazine

Why is it that the new Hot Rod is the November issue, a month and a half before november will occur? The info is about 2 months old, due the delays of layout, editting, and printing.

Just curious why they can't conform to the calendar based on planet Earth moving around Sol when it comes to placing a month on the cover and spine. Would it be too hard to get a bit closer to the real month of it hitting the shelves and post office boxes?

Milner had another car, and another movie with lots of racing (according to the preview)

the 68 Camaro was in storage for 29 years after being bought from the movie studio, but is now on page 17 of the November Hot Rod Magazine.

Would you like to learn about a rare 69 Camaro you've likely never heard of? A NASCAR pace car!

Musclecar review Sept '08, page 90. 1 of 7 made, and maybe 3 still exist. This one was bought from NASCAR by Richard Howard owner of Charlotte Motor Speedway at the time, when they were done with it. The first titled owner? Bill France.

It's for sale.

440 6 pack Edelbrock intakes

The part about pointing out that they are aluminum is useless... I'm certain that all Edelbrock intakes are aluminum. Anyway, the 6 pack intake was described in an article in Muscle Car Review magazine, Sept 2008, page 70.

Casting number 3412046, and weighing less than 1/2 of the iron replacements that Chrysler made for the 1970 model year. I had one, and it was effing heavy, easily more than 40 pounds.
Chrysler switched from contracting the intakes from Edelbrock to making them to save about 1/3rd th 1/2 off the cost per unit, that is alot of money.

About 3500 were made by Edelbrock, and I'm very happy to have one on my engine. I wanted one for about 7 years before I got mine.

On the topic of Edelbrock intakes, NHRA accepted them as factory stock. That is pretty cool imho. The LD4B and CH4B intakes, and the 2 piece hemi intake were given Chrysler part numbers too.

A highly recommended book

Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942 third edition... highly recommended book by the horseless carriage society. It's nearly perfect, and they've only found 2 cars made in America that weren't in the book.

It's very Kustom Kulture, Roth, and Johnny Cash. Now how could I compliment it any more with fewer words? It's very well formatted too... I'm probably going to learn from him too, just like Feng, Richard, and John on how to do a better job with mine.

But go, enjoy, and thank me later.

Dodge Coronet surprised me, not with how big the body was, but how low the roof line is. Very cool overall designed car we don't see anymore
