 Dave King out of Tipp City,...  Dave King out of Tipp City, Ohio picked up one of the coveted Street Rodder Top 100 awards presented by Turtle Wax at Goodguys Columbus for his '26 Ford roadster that sits on a Model A frame. The powertrain is more Model A with a '30 Ford four-banger and trans.  John McCue of Charleston,...  John McCue of Charleston, West Virginia picked up a SRM Top 100 for his '32 Ford Vicky. The steel body was chopped 1 1/2 inches, with original top insert, cowl vent, and original firewall, grille and insert. A '34 dashboard is used while the power comes from the obligatory 350/350 combo with three Deuces. Pontiac taillights and Buick brakes add to the period look.  Werner Wilson from Marysville,...  Werner Wilson from Marysville, Ohio cruised in style while picking up his SR Top 100 award for his '48 Plymouth 2 door sedan. It has a '80 Monte Carlo subframe with 350 tandem engine and tranny.  Pickups need love too! Larry...  Pickups need love too! Larry McCawley of Cranberry, Pennsylvania picked up (pun intended) his Top 100 award at Columbus for his '32 Ford pickup. The heritage on this hot rod is long and true with the ttruc having belonged to his dad as a restoration but Larry's grandson talked him into making it into a street rod--good thinking. Powered by a Flathead modern appointments include a five-speed and a 9-inch Ford rearend with coil-over shocks. The bed sports tiger striped maple wood.  Ron Woislo of Ansonia, Connecticut...  Ron Woislo of Ansonia, Connecticut was selected for a SR Top 100 pick for his '32 Ford highboy roadster based on a Total Cost involved Stage III chassis, 350/350 crate combo with Pete & Jake's frontend and a Currie 9-inch. Highboy is painted in a hugger orange and tan.  Spider Race of Bradford, Pennsylvania...  Spider Race of Bradford, Pennsylvania brought out his '33 Chevy three-window coupe and for his efforts will be taking home a Top 100 award. Power comes via a LT1 with a 700-R4 tranny, while the skin is painted in House of Kolors hues and Budnik wheels at the corners.  John Copeland of Lancaster,...  John Copeland of Lancaster, Ohio receives a Top 100 for his '40 Ford coupe painted in PPG Deltron by Gene Wood, interior by Grubby Hot Rods, and Halibrand wheels at the corners. Small-block Chevy sports an Edelbrock twin four barrel setup.  Ron Spencer of Fishers, Indiana...  Ron Spencer of Fishers, Indiana will be taking home a Top 100 award from Columbus for his '46 Ford convertible. Powertrain is a 350 combo with Vintage Air AC, chrome steelies wrapped with whitewalls and is his daily driver.  Mitch Henderson's McKinney...  Mitch Henderson's McKinney Texas-based '62 Buick caught our eye and snagged a Top-10 pick, as well. This ground scraping Buford rolls on a combination of 20's and 22's and features an extremely well dressed nailhead.  One of a kind is the only...  One of a kind is the only way to describe this awesome '37 Ford, and believe it or not this one's also out of McKinney, TX and the shop of Mitch Henderson, owner of the cool '62 Buick that was among the shows Top-10 winners, as well. As a triple award winner in Columbus (we saw it first) you'll be seeing a lot more of this baby in the future.
