Hopped-Up is a portrait of the European scene of the Hot Rodding culture. David Biene uses fine art photography and sophisticated face-to-face interviews to present all the different facets of this subculture and some of its protagonists. This book is about real people, about personalities. It is about true enthusiasm and passion, about sweat and fun, about friendship and individuality. And it is about style and photography.

The Factory Five '33 Ford Hot Rod kit gives you everything you need tbuild your car, in one big package. The only things you’ll need are the engine/trans/rear end, wheels/tires, and a paint job.

When we say everything, we mean it. We include everything from the frame, chassis, and body, complete interior, and all trim down tthe smallest details like correct fasteners, brackets, and badging. and . We make it easy for you tuse the engine of your choice with a list of available exhaust and motor/trans mount choices (no charge).

I just got tipped about a brand new online magazine called Traditional Speed & Kustom. The concept for the magazine started 25 years ago in Jim Aust's notebook. Internet made his dream become reality, and the result is a very tastefully designed online magazine full of interesting features and articles.

Long time Hot Rodder Peter 'Carps' Carpenter has been kind enough to upload some photos from his personal collection over at Ozrodders.com.

Photos range from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. There is even few customs as well some coverage from the USA Hot Rod Nationals from way back. It's a great way to see how Australian Hot Rodding has evolved over time.
