Hot Rod + Muscle Car Communities

If you're not working on a custom hot rod or classic American muscle car rebuild with a friend (or teaching your kid the ropes) then chances are you spend a lot of time in the garage by yourself, tinkering--ratchet and radio the only sounds you hear.

Sometimes you have questions. Sometimes you need advice. And sometimes you just want to shoot the sh--. Online communities are a great way to connect to fellow enthusiasts. Here a few simple ways to get connected.

Google+
The Google+ communities section is growing fast and its easy to use. You can search through existing groups. Or you can start a brand new group, giving yourself more control over content and membership. Here are the search results for hot rods + muscle cars.

Reddit
You may have to wade through 'for sale' posts, but Reddit does aggregate a lot of content from all over the country. Browse around and you'll find good people and good chats.

Facebook and Twitter
The old war horses of social media. Facebook has a lot of communities connected with muscle car restoration and classic hot rods. These communities are typically less specific that the Google+ communities, you may be one of 100,000 members as opposed to 100 or less. Twitter is good for following updates from the car shows and major brands you like.

This blog
We have new muscle car restoration posts every week and repeat readers every week. Comment, ask questions, the Brauns community is listening!
