Greetings!
It was summer (Australian that is,) 1963, I was still at high school and had time off to go to the doctor. There was a bit of a wait so I scrounged through the pile of magazines on the desk to see if there was anything there apart from 'Womens Weekly' to read. This magazine with strange looking cars on the cover appeared in my hands, and by the time the doctor was ready to see me, it had somehow vanished into by schoolbag!
The magazine was the October 1963 Car Craft, the roadster issue, and I was hooked! I stll am hooked, but now I'm 60 years old and I still don't own a hot rod. I've made a number of starts, 1941 Willys sedan, 1928 Essex coupe, Model A woodie, 1949 Mercury, shoebox Ford, 1950 English Ford Prefect, but all were sold before completion.
I intend to own a hot rod before I die, and I'm not going to start on one until I know I've got the time, money and inclination to see it through. It may take a while, but at least I've still got the dream.
Cheers, Glen.
