ALAN MAYES is not only the Managing Editor of "Car Kulture DeLuxe" & "Old Skool Rodz" Magazines, he's also an establilshed author of a number of very cool books on Rods & Customs.

Alan's an old friend, so when we get to the yearly KKOA Lead Sled Spectacular in Salina we usually spend some quality time together, and the 2009 Event was no different.

Alan, Bo Huff , and myself, had a great Interview session and one of the topics I wanted to cover was Alan's newest book : "Old School Customs: Top Traditional Custom Car Builders".

While Alan and I were doing this part of the Interview, Bo Huff checked-in with his take on the book too.  Hey, that's what friends are for !

This is an extraordinary book that covers 13 of the BEST of the R&C Breed...from Darryl Starbird, Gene Winfield, and, Bill Hines, to Bo Huff & Gary "Chopit" Fioto, Plus new-to-the-scene builders like Brad Masterson & "Voodoo" Larry Grobe.  Thirteen in all, in a book that should be in everyone's R&C Library for reference.  You DO have an R&C Library, right ? Well, if you don't you better, and this is a GREAT place to start !

Listen. Enjoy. And pick-up your copy of "Old School Customs: Top Traditional Custom Car Builders"ASAP!   JK

PS: Alan's  "Bo Huff Built" '61 Pontiac Ventura is the beautiful custom pictured on the cover of the book.
