early tex smith hotrod
Does anyone remember the roadster that tex smith built when working for Hot Rod magazine? Not the XR6. this was more of a T bucket style car. It had a bolted together aluminum frame, radiator in the back and a brand new Pontiac tripower engine. I think it was a 348 HP version. He was trying to make the ultimate low weight hotrod. Any way of finding out when it was published?
I started reading Hot Rod somewhere around 1959 and I was already a Pontiac fan back then. My dad's car was a '59 Catalina that I first started driving in. Billk |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
