Larry Buel
Euless, TX
'39 Ford Tudor
Larry's '39 got a complete body-off restoration before being outfitted with a 350/350 engine and trans combination and a Mustang II IFS. The stance and the Halibrand wheels lets you know it's a hot rod from the outside while the interior is subtly done in a cream pleat
Duke Hogan
Richardson, TX
'39 Buick coupe
Duke and Mary Hogan love their Buick, which is powered by an LS1 and features a Corvette C4 suspension. The unique Jarama beige color (from the Porsche line of colors) just glows in the sun, and it gives the coupe an elegant look.
Jason Smith
China Spring, TX
'32 Ford channeled coupe
If you pulled everything from a list that you would ever want on a '32 three-window, you'd probably come up with Jason Smith's incredible coupe. Equipped with a fuel-injected, Ardun-topped Flathead backed to a five-speed trans, the copper coupe also boasts a Winters quick-change, a '34 Ford cowl top section, and a 3-to-2-inch slant chop.
Sheri Murray
Venus, TX
'37 Ford coupe
The award-winning Roger Burman, from Lakeside Rods and Customs, built this super-slick '37 coupe for Sheri Murray. Lots of body massaging (typical on cars from Lakeside) went into this low-slung ride (check out the Mini Cooper headlights) that also features an LS1 engine, 18- and 20-inch Budnik wheels, and subtle two-tone paintjob.
In from Carrollton, TX, Richard...
In from Carrollton, TX, Richard Gary and his '62 'Bird took in the show. The Ice Blue paint and white roof and interior was nice, but the Norm Grabowski skull shifter really set the tone for this one.
This Model T roadster pickup...
This Model T roadster pickup looked pretty vintage, but the polished shark (made from F-86 Sabre Jet parts) that was for sale ($3,500), which is bolted to the roof rack, stopped a lot of folks in their tracks.
A blown 383 stroker was stuffed...
A blown 383 stroker was stuffed into the front of Mark Britt's '38 Chevy truck. With there being so many stock pickups located in the south we're sure we'll be seeing them converted to hot rods for some time to come.
