Hop Up Volume V presents material to please the same (narrow) range of interest seen in Volumes I-IV: Traditional Hot Rods, Customs, Racers, unpublished photo archives, and the broader Style chapter, a potpourri of things, folks, places and events. Although not a 'ratrod' publication, we also feature unfinished (but safely constructed) cars inviting cross-over from that youthful and growing market segment. We continue to attract the favor of hot rod industry icons who choose Hop Up as the vehicle to tell their story in spite of broader circulation possibilities in larger but less-focused publications. Look for 'The Bud Meyer Story' in Volume V. The same notable authors are represented this year, including Ken Gross, Drew Hardin, Dave Simard, Mark Morton, Steve Hendrickson, Jon Gobetti, et al, bringing a nation-wide sampling of talent and tastes. We see Hop Up maturing with each issue, along with its' loyal share of the market. The series has become a mini-institution already. The cover (attached)is a studio-created scene, and is consistent with our policy to avoid similar styles in cover presentation.
