Hot Rod Hoodies

By 1958 header builder Sandy Belond had assembled a small team and was selling his headers through more than 2,000 dealers and his business was hugely successful. Sandy sold the business to A-P Industries, better known as Appliance Plating, and by 1960 they had rebranded Belond Headers as Appliance. Appliance couldn't figure out how to run the business, so they hired Sandy to run it and he did so until his passing in 1988. Appliance-made headers continued to leverage Sandy's basic designs, but added their own bright white ceramic coating which in most cases, lasted longer than the engines they were bolted to which is no small feat for a coating on one of the hottest parts of a car.

Hot Rods are as American as the Stars and Stripes!

Mount Airy may be a spec of a town off of U.S. Route 52 in Surry County, North Carolina, but it was also home to one of the country's preeminent hot rod builders. Founded in 1980 by Donald 'Little Don' Perkins, his no billet policy ensured that he only produced traditional rods and customs, so no high tech styled, pastel heartbeat graphic, tweed interior, fenderless IFS rods here. Little Don may have only stood 5' 3" tall, but his builds were giants that are still prized possessions of those who own them well after he closed up shop and retired in 2015.
