50th Annual Indianapolis World of Wheels - Web Exclusive

Amy Clark's '53 Chevy Business Coupe was dragging its tail drenched in heavy pink and white pearl while sporting a perfect chop, shaved and frenched body, and stoke spider web-styled rear skirts.

With a heavy chop to its roof, Justin Clark's '52 Chevy custom was loaded with tricks including a heavily modified grille, shaved body, tail dragger stance, and glassy gold metalflake body.

Dig the nosebleed stance on Tom and Doug Wise's '55 Chevy Gasser with its straight front axle, searing small-block Chevy power, early Cragar wheels, and hypnotic red tinted windows.

Being only 21 years old, Dustin Cooper has already gone to the head of the class in our book. One look at his slammed '55 DeSoto with its 3-inch chopped top, Packard taillights, and '56 Olds headlights proves that he's one young builder to keep an eye on!

Starting with a signature Culbertson's Hot Rods and Customs twin-tube chassis, 21 year-old Mike Sharon nailed a '31 Chevy roadster pick-up to its base and dipped it in polished blue suede before proceeding to lay the miles down on this reet turnpike cruiser.

We know that Tom Culbertson knows how to have fun based on his immaculate vintage front engined slingshot dragster that melts its slicks through a venomous Flathead.

Its not every day that you come across a '58 Ford Ranchero as nice as Ron Edlin's vibrant orange hauler. Its body was coated in custom touches including a restyled grille while rolling on wide whites topped by Lancer caps.

John Pipes' '29 Ford roadster reeked gow-job with its polished black suede body, creme wires, Edelbrock-fed Flathead, and traditional good looks.

The show floor at the Motorama was packed with sweet customs like Rick Marvin's '52 Ford featuring a louvered hood, spots, lake pipes, caddy caps, and liquid red icing.

Wow, Jack Enos' '50 Chevy Fleetline left us breathless with its candy blue sparkle, ghost flames, and shaved body accented by peaked headlights, custom grille, and flipper caps.

Jim Lanning did an amazing job designing the new top for his '30 Ford roadster giving it a signature look that works well with its DuVall-styled windshield, Guide headlights, cowl steering, quick change rear, and '40 Ford dash.

There were crowds around D. Hamilton Thompson's '26 Ford coupe all weekend long studying its amazing custom work, brass accents, and Mazda 4-banger dressed in a hypnotic old school style. Great job!

Tiny, tidy, and immaculate; Dave LeFevre's '29 Dreyer quarter midget was a neat as they come with a perfectly restored body, polished grille, fresh knobbies, and liquid red paint.

Grazing the ground thanks to Air Ride bags, Lynn and Sandy Drapers '61 Chevy Impala SS had mild custom touches matched to a 348ci V-8 mill and a seductive spraying of sea foam aqua with just enough white rainbow flake.

Bare steel fit the bill perfectly to show off all of the fabrication that went into Lon Wren's '29 Ford roadster which was nailed to the ground with killer good looks including a Thunderbird V-8 topped with a squadron of deuces, and mile high shifter.

Keeping the memories of 70's era Fad T's alive; Fred and Pam Cossell's '23 Ford was time-warp fresh with its panel paint, mile wide rubber, tall windshield, and deep-tufted interior.

Heavily chopped '30 Ford coupes are always in style and Mike Lanning's 5-window was set up on Deuce rails, filled with a hot Merc Flathead, and treated to a Moon tank; Buick finned aluminum drums, scorching flames.

At the Pinstripers Panel Jam, we ran into Dawn Young who was working hard all weekend laying down slick lines on anything cool that came her way. Giving their time for charity, the pinstriping area was hopping all weekend long.
