Vintage Torque is a zine that I have made up to show some of the stuff I see around the country when I go from show to show.
I needed to put out a catalog with all my merchandise, and I used to have an old lame list that had many items in there....but it was Black and White and just not pleasing to the eye.
So my buddy told me he could do a color catalog - but I would have to charge people for the catalog. In my mind I could not do this - cause it seems like a rip off......so he suggested since I am always at these shows taking pix - why not include them in the catalog....so that is what I have done. I will try to update pix on this page about 1 time a month - so check back and we will also try to list new items for sale as they become available. Please also check out - www.classiccarfilms.com and www.ratfinkstuff.com
When you see us at a show - you will notice that we carry many Big Daddy Roth / Rat Fink items and many of the hard to find Classic Car Films. In addition to these we also have Weesner shirts and posters, other vintage style posters/car related movie poseter, and a full line of traditional magazines like Church, Hot Rods Illustrated, Kustoms Illustrated, Powerglide, Smokin' Shutdown, Burnout, Wizz, Hop Up, etc. So if there is something you need let us know and we will try to bring it to you at the show and you wont have to pay shipping!
