Vicariously, With Camera

[DougB]

I never had much chance to own a rod, though I did have a few musclecars early along the way. At least now I get to see and drool on cars of all sorts nearly every weekend spring through fall. I do photographs and artwork, and for some reason my area has a pretty strong base of rods and 50's-60's cars. I have yet to meet an owner who isn't happy to talk about his work (or the work he had others do), car history, earlier cars, etc. But I don't often have much time "in the field" because I need to burn film within a limited time. I saw this website and of course wanted to get my work out there blah-blah, but I also like to be reminded of what-all's involved with building the hardware and keeping it rolling. My range of vehicle interests is fairly wide, but I see hot rods as one of the toughest to do well. Also up there has to be the difficulty of restoring a less popular make.
