About TRJ

The Rodder’s Journal  is a coffee table-style quarterly published for the traditional hot rod and custom car enthusiast. Launched in 1994, we created TRJ to showcase every aspect of hot rodding with the same attention to detail and accuracy enthusiasts give when building their cars. Now, thirty years later, TRJ is still considered the preeminent hot rod, custom and vintage racing publication, with in-depth editorial, lush photography, and rich production values like heavy, high-gloss pages and sturdy cover stock—all fit for a magazine readers collect and keep in their libraries for decades to come.

Issue #86

Inside TRJ #86, you’ll find a diverse mix of traditional hot rods, customs, art and history. The three available covers feature Larry Jacinto’s baremetal Deuce coupe built by Ryan Reed, Jim “Jake” Jacobs’ old school ’29 Ford roadster, and Ray and Terri Bartlett’s tasty ’40 Ford sedan delivery. We pay tribute to the late Pat Ganahl through our own recollections and those of Pat’s family. Greg Sharp explores the wild and wooly world of ’40s and early-’50s track roadster racing. Mild custom fans will love Brad and Penny Grimes’ inline-powered ’51 Chevy, and hot rod and custom enthusiasts alike will enjoy our feature on the work of hot rod fine artist, the late Roy Jones.
