Congratz goes out to our good friend Brent Hoitink. His bare metal 1950 Chevy Coupe has not only been featured on the web edition of Canadian Hot Rods Magazine, it’s also been featured in Old Skool Rodz this month. With the effort and creativity he’s poured into it, he more than deserves the ink!
Take a good, long look at this classy 1926 Essex pickup. Current owner Alan Gingles is in the process of tearing it apart and doing it the way he wants it done, which is nothing like it appears here. When it re-emerges from its garage in Neepawa, MB, expect it to be slathered in flat [...]
Here come da judge! Photographed at the 2009 “Cruisin’ the Island” show, Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.
Like all good projects, Denis Verrier’s ’35 Chevy Roadster started taking new directions after he started working on it. What was supposed to be a simple hot rod coupe to drive around in would soon become a show rod that almost won the Ridler award. It’s an absolute marvel of craftsmanship and CNC machining, and [...]
LS-series Corvette engines are the hot ticket for trucks to hot rods to muscle cars. The one place that new Corvette engines are rarely found? Old Corvettes. Tip o’ the hat to Sandale Fabrication for putting this gorgeous machine together.
It was a bright, hot day in 2009 when the Roadkill Rod Up was unleashed on the world. Well, actually, it started out raining, which scared away all the princess cars, and then it got nice and warm for the real rat rodders to enjoy. Just ask Greaser Greg and his best girl, Hillbilly Jill….
You would never guess it, but this 1954 Packard Caribbean was one of the first fresh designs that John Delorean worked on. It’s a far cry from the Delorean DMC-12, but it probaby wouldn’t look that bad with a Mr. Fusion bolted to the trunk. Now, if only we could get the curators of the [...]
Winnipeg’s Hot Rod Liz is considered by many to be the Godmother of the cruising scene in Manitoba. Everyone who’s a part of the ‘scene knows who she is, and the important role she plays in our passion. Pictured here is Liz returning from the annual Lipstick Run, an all-female rod run, in her legendary [...]
Rob Bleeker’s 1956 Chevy Nomad started out as a basket case out behind his work. The fenders and hood were replaced with a one-piece fibreglass flip-hood, and the rest of the sheetmetal was replaced with rust. Over the next 10-15 years, the car came together into this awesome machine you see here today.
I have no clue what was painted on this fox-body Ford Mustang convertible, but at least they did a good job of it. Whatever “it” is. At this range, it looks like a series of skulls melting together. It’s an acquired taste, I’m sure, but you have to give the owner props for putting so [...]
