Hot rodding history is incredibly cool, not only because it has lead us to the hot rodding world we know and love today, but also because history tends to repeat itself. Whether you are talking about fashion trends or hot rodding trends, the past always comes back around. The traditional hot rod crowd, like the guys at Iron Trap Garage, are always looking to build their cars to a specific period in history. Some folks love pre-war, meaning before World War Two. Others want the few years following the war. And then there are guys like me that want to build a Pro Street car and want it to look like it was built in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s.
It’s really no different. If you are building a car or truck to look like something that came from the past, then you can understand as well.
In the Iron Trap podcast below, Mike and Matt are going to talk about the inspiration of days gone by. Check it out.
Video Description:
Matt and Mike sit down to page through 4 Hot Rod magazines from 1948 & 1949. This is a really cool inside look at what hot rodding looked like in during the lates 40s. Looking back in time really gives us a true answer to what parts, modifications and speed parts were being used!! Let us know if you would like us to do these again!
