Covell Metalworking Workshop Ron Covell has been teaching metalworking classes for more than 20 years. Covell's weekend workshops provide a great way to improve your skills in all aspects of metalworking. The workshops cost $250 per day and run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with lunch provided. Participants can attend for one day or both. There is no prerequisite for any workshop. The classes are given as a lecture/demonstration, where some of the best learning may stem from participants' questions.

We are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Road Tour with a 2020 version of that car, built by Danny Tesar and Larry Brunkala at Precision Hot Rods and Fabrication in Macedonia, Ohio. The fiberglass body from Redneck Street Rods will wear black paint with charcoal stripes, in a pattern similar to The Blue Skunk. At the 2019 Street Rod Nationals, title sponsor Lokar Products displayed the Precision Hot Rods chassis with the Ford Performance 427 engine, Gearstar transmission, and John's Industries rearend. Micheal Castiglione, aka Casti, provided this illustration of our latest Road Tour rod. The post Latest News From the Street Rod Hobby appeared first on Hot Rod Network .
