"Hot Rod Pinups"... Just picked it up. Coffe table book of rat rods in primer and the whole Hot Rod garage scene but with a nasty mean Betty Paige like twist to it...

Nasty 50's 60's models around even nastier Hot Rods.

Perfect combo. The Photographers and authors live and understand the real Hot Rod (not the sterile new shiny billet "street rod")

If you like beautiful nasty women and real, mean Hot Rods... this is THE picture book.

A lot of the cars are from areas around me...

LOL
Used to be an old guy that had an old tin garage close to us back when I was a kid.
He had hot rod pinup girls all over the wall.
They were a tad more revealing than those shown in the sample images.
Man................. I loved that place.

Dreaming at Rats & Pin-ups is all is left to Laz's manhood. How sad that an icon of American machisum ends up is such a desolation. Not even his peers from the BBS to step foward and confort him.

You know you hit rock bottom lows when furriners teach you how to spell "Bettie Page".

dry lakes scene.. car club garage scene.. garage scene. All the handbuilt stuff and very anti billet flash stuff.

I dunno... maye I am getting old but I sure like the models in this book better that the gynocolodgy lessons that pass for porn these days.

Rats are getting fashionable again, they start to pop up like flees on my cat at local car shows, moslty drove by guys in their 20s. I guess it's the look cool movement againts the $$$ G-ride.

I'll see if I can sneak this book in my library without being intercepted by my GF.

frenchy.... you might as well face it... you are Americanized.. ruined.

rat rods is where it all started and for many of the same reasons... money. Now... the rat rods cost a lot but still not so much as "street rods". I keep my Healey in primer and old style mags but... let's face it... it would be hard for a kid to come by a Healey body to work on or a gennie 32 ford.

A lot of the rat rods are safe and fun and pretty fast but no matter what... they are mean looking and very cool and fun to work on and drive.
