As we were continuing to recover from the NSRA Nationals today, we had a gentleman by the name of Mickey Arp stop by the shop in his very cool roadster pickup. He says the truck is titled as a 1923 Model T Commercial Vehicle, but the creation is all his own. From the chassis and…

If you’re the least bit interested in hot rods then you know August is a big month, because of the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky.
