Hop Up MAGAZINE

November '97

T n' A

This month we've got a scoop on the real magazines. A journalist friend was in the other day and began to describe the T in the attached snapshot. We picked up the picture and said, "Is this it?"
"Yeah!"
'Seems he just shot it for a feature. Oh, well....theirs will be better, but we scooped 'em because of our cyber-deadline: write today, print today!

This Is A Genuine Hoptup T
We've seen the car at the Throttlers' Picnic, Long Beach T Club Swap Meet and other places, but don't know who the guy is. Suffice to say it's a bitchin Hop Up: underslung, (they were kinda tail-draggers, ya know?), chopped 'shield, some fashion of late wires (Chrysler). Just a Jaunty Jalopy. 1925 car. The way some looned-out jive-boy might have done it in about '31.

Good Info Source

Probably the best source for T n' A parts, tech and social-political commentary (mainly A and B) is "Secrets". It's a Quarterly periodical done by Charlie Yapp, out of Illinois. If you have an interest in bangars - and you should- ya gotta subscribe to this mag.

We have asked, and Charlie may do one of those guest editorials for us when he sees that we're da kine hot rod guys with that special Hop Up style.
