We’re talking second ice age stuff in some places like BangShift eastern world head quarters. Thankfully we’re here to warm you up. These images were taken by Charles Wickam at the Houston Autorama and they were bounced around, shuffled around, and then the dog ate our homework so we’re late getting them to you, that being the case, bad ass cars are timeless! The hot rodding world may be frozen solid but the servers here at BangShift are still cranking away!

The Houston Autorama is either the end of the season in Texas or the start of the season everywhere else. It is a huge kickoff for the Autorama indoor car show series that traverses the nation and keep the spirits of cold, bummed out hot rodders alive as they wait for mother natter loosen her grip and let them have fun in their cruisers, racers, and fun machines again.

So enjoy this first installment of several you will see featuring great photos from Charles Wickam!
