Well, maybe not the last part, but Hot Rod is going to try and change your idea of what a cool project van should be with the help of ebay and Mackey’s Hot Rod Shop in Huntington Beach, CA. Three sister publications and Hot Rod each purchased vehicles off of ebay’s auction site to reimagine using parts purchased mostly from ebay. The winning project, as voted on by going to ebay, will get to choose where the proceeds from the auction of all four vehicles on ebay will go. In our case it’s the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. That’s why we need you to vote—that’s why we want to win! European Car magazine purchased a nice Porsche, which was nice to start with so what’s the point? Four Wheeler magazine purchased a Jeep that will be jacked up with balloon tires, roll bars and probably a winch that will look ridiculous and doesn’t warrant further comment. Low Rider magazine purchased a wasted El Camino, which was a mistake. The effort and Benjamins it will take to get it to the stage where they can do some cool things will pretty much use up their budget—which means Read and comment on the most talked about there will be no money without cheating and going way over budget—which we expect. HOT ROD articles and news. That leaves Hot Rod. Our esteemed Publisher Jerry Pitt bought a 1968 Chevy van residing in Ohio from ebay, had it shipped to Mackey’s, and now you’re going to vote for it to win the competition. Build-up videos of the chaos, voting and more can be had at ebay, you know, that web site where great cars and parts are found that you never dreamed you wanted until you clicked onto them. You Rank It: New Jersey 19 Straight-Axle The van is only half-a-heap; and Mackey’s has a concept, a plan, the expertise, a wad of money, and Comments six weeks build time to make our readers proud and our competition wish they were working for the winning team. The winning Hot Rod van and three losing projects will be on display in all their glory at the 2012 You Rank It! Ice Nine 3rd-Gen SEMA Show in November. And the best part comes after the hoopla when the proceeds from the sale 25 Camaro of the van will be donated to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund.

  • Hot Rod Classics Series
    Hot Rod Classics Association – Hot Rod Classics Series Background Heart of a Champion (HOAC) was founded in 2017 to help preserve stock car racing history in the Maritime provinces of Canada. Our first project was the restoration of a vintage stock car, a 1967 Chevelle which was unveiled in July 2017 at the region's biggest stock car race, the IWK 250 at Riverside International Speedway. It was so well-received that we took the car on tour, showing it at race tracks and car shows throughout the Maritime provinces. At the same time, we launched our website and the Heart of Champion Facebook (FB) page to share our travels on social media. Since then, we have grown the FB page to include vintage racing photos, stories, and a weekly salute to someone who has helped build stock car racing in our region - someone with the Heart of a Champion. In just 3 years, our social media following has flourished to over 10,000 followers with the reaction and interaction from and between our followers clearly demonstrating the interest in and passion for our Maritime racing heritage. And so it was time, in 2020, to take Heart of a Champion to the next level with the formation of the Hot Rod Classics Vintage race car series. Overview The Hot Rod Classics Series is our region's first vintage stock car organization. As with Heart of a Champion, the Hot Rod Classics Series has been formed to help preserve stock car racing history in the Maritimes and to honour those who helped make the sport what it is today.

  • Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index
    Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index I have a long history and fondness for Rod & Custom magazine. This is the first magazine I purchased at age 10, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I often refer back to my collection, but find it hard to quickly lay my hands on a given article. This is for fellow HAMB members who share a love for this little magazine. This Index covers Rod & Custom Magazine from May 1953 through May 1974. I stopped at 1974 since R&C went out of print then. R&C was restarted in December 1988 and lasted until October 2014. This index is created for general reference, technical reference, research, tracing automobile histories, and genealogy. I have attempted to use a consistent categorization or article grouping scheme across all 20+ years, even though editors or previous compilations may not have used this convention. This index contains the following specific information: Title of each article along with a descriptive supplement such as club affiliation, noted customizers, past owners, professions, etc. The author’s and/or photographer’s name where space allowed. Featured vehicle year, make, model, & engine and/or engine displacement where available or where space allowed. Vehicle owner name, city and state. Where the country is other than the United States, I listed the country Product manufacturer name, city and state. Address may be included if space allowed. The month and page number of each feature article or photograph. The index is sorted by year, and a title at the top of each page indicates which year.

  • Smokey Yunick's Hot Air Fiero
    Smokey Yunick’s Hot Air Fiero Many commonly accepted ways of doing things are based on tradition or opinion, rather than sound engineering, physics, and chemistry. Pontiac Fiero Hot Air Engine Now It's Ready. April, 2010 By C.J. Baker Editor's Note: This story was reprinted from the June 1984 issue of Hot Rod magazine. It showcases not only the spirit of innovation of the great Smokey Yunick but gives some insight into how non-conventional thinking can lead to significant technical innovation. For decades, hot rodders and for that matter Detroit engineers have been locked into the idea that the only way to make more power in an engine was to cram more air and fuel into the cylinders. Traditional methods of doing that have included long camshaft event cycles, pressurizing the induction system, and cooling the incoming air/fuel charge. Those methods have produced success within limits but there has also been a heavy price to pay for power achieved with those methods in terms of efficiency. What has been consistently overlooked is the quality of the mixture that enters the cylinders in terms of its ability to react or oxidize. In everyday terms that means how well and how completely it will burn. When the reaction takes place, chemical energy is converted to heat energy. How much heat is generated and how well that heat energy is used to produce work is efficiency and quite frankly most internal combustion engines are pathetically inefficient, using only about 25 percent of the heat available. The rest is wasted-lost out the tailpipe, into the cooling system and into the air.
