Not to sound redundant but The Rodder’s Journal is the best hot rod/custom magazine going. To call it a magazine is a bit of a disservice. As the name implies, it is a journal. But it is so much more. And lately you’re getting more bang your buck. TRJ has been $12.95 since it began now each issue keeps getting bigger and the price is staying the same. Issue #34 is a robust 200 glossy pages. You say Street Rodder is bigger, trust me, apples and tuna fish.
This issue begins with Robert House’s ‘50 Chevy Fleetline. Holy crap. This car is what I see when I close my eyes. There is not a single thing wrong with this car. This is what a custom car is suppose to be, enhancing what is already there, not overpowering them. When GM made the ‘50 Chevy Fleetline they must have had Astro Supremes in mind. It’s a match made in heaven. Combine that with the perfect stance and you have one of the most unbelievable Chevies ever.
As with any TRJ you get great writing. With names such as Thom Taylor, Ken Gross and the legendary Pat Ganahl you get only the best. Thom tells us about the landmark Kessler roadster. Ken writes about the Williams brothers hemi powered Model A lakes car and Pat covered the previously mentioned ‘50 Chevy.
You also get amazing photo articles like Joe Lingrey’s dry lakes pictures and a really nice piece on Steve Reyes drag racing archives. You get historical footage that just cannot be outdone.
The Rodder’s Journal is simply the best.
