On Friday I got a little treat - a short but highly entertaining excursion in a bitchin hot rod built by Mark Ford of Austin Speed Shop, Austin Texas. This coupe caught my eye on a previous visit so it was blast to have the owner give me a ride in it.

Another cool bit is that you can read about this traditional hot rod in the January 2009 issue of Hot Rod Deluxe, on the news stand now.
