The website has changed because our last host crashed and took the website information down with it. The\u00a0new website has changed from the old website because I have tried to recover the lost information but needed to recreate sections to reproduce as much information from the old website as possible. The new website is separated into Posts and Pages to highlight\u00a0the cars and their stories and includes new Posts and a Page with the story of The Hoggtowne Paint Slingers.\u00a0The different area\u00a0descriptions are as follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>The Posts:<\/strong> These posts features pictures of\u00a0the cars\u00a0in the collection and a brief description of the cars and their history.
