Paying Tribute



On a day when we lost another hot-rod great, paying homage to our influences has been on my mind today. Even if subconsciously, anything we see that we like is gonna filter into what we do somehow, I think. Maybe we'll mix it up a little, change something, add something, remove something, but without any influences we'd not be hot rodders. Lets face it, this is a scene BUILT on the past.

But, the great thing about that is the way ideas are copied, recycled, reused, tweaked and perverted into something new, yet old.

We're running a Boyd Coddington tribute build on Auto Modelling - please, if you liked anything he did, feel free to join in and help us remember an innovative and important figure in the scene I love so much.
