Spring Show-N-Go at Paradise - Web Exclusive

The spectator count is always high at the Show-N-Go and folks line the fences, just like they did in the old days. This nose-high Henry J was definitely a favorite among the gasser crowd, and it made several passes throughout the racing portion of the event.

Hap Chastain came down from Tennessee in this tidy '41 Chevy pickup. The two-tone color combination is a unique blend, and the Chevy rallyes add to the flavor of the simplistic truck, which features minimal body modifications.

Rolling on big-n-little Halibrand's, this fenderless '33 Ford caught the eye of many hot rodders. With a blown big block Chevy and a nicely chopped top, the aggressive three-window coupe was hard to resist.

How about a '28 Ford Model A Tudor body with a title for $4,800? We didn't see any rust, and the un-chopped sedan bodies have become a hot commodity for traditional rodders, so it seemed to be a fair price.

Trickum Chopper and Hot Rods built this low slung hot rod and came up from Woodstock, Georgia to show it off and have a good time. The chopped and channeled sedan started as a '35 Plymouth, and power comes from a blown small-block Chevy.

Another dirt track car in attendance was this cool little roadster. It didn't do any drag racing, but it caught the attention of racing fans from all generations with its period-correct details.

Slammed to the pavement, this rusty GMC pickup has all sorts of pinstriping and lettering to complement the look. A set of custom fender-well headers exits through large holes in the front fenders.

Eric Ondras brought out his wicked '55 T-Bird and turned heads all day. With a straight axle, protruding rear slicks and vintage lettering, you can't deny the car's gasser status, and the missing front bumper adds to the style. Eric hails from Ranger, Georgia and he's a member of the Gear Eaters club.

Even though B.B. Brown stayed plenty busy running this show, he still found the time to make a pass in his trusty Willys sedan. From what we've heard, B.B. is currently building a short wheelbase front engine dragster as well, so he definitely has the nostalgia bug.

With three rows of swap meet vendors expanding the length of the track, there was nearly 100 vendors with all kinds of cool stuff. We even spotted a pair of four-hole Romeo Palamides wheels for $400-without question, a deal like that doesn't last long with a big group of keen hot rodders.

Tommy Jones loves nostalgia racing, and who can blame him? He has a killer Corvette gasser that runs in mid 7's in the eighth-mile and a wife that loves going racing almost as much as he does. The small-block powered Corvette has just the right amount of vintage flavor.

This '36 Plymouth coupe blends rat rod styling with a certain amount of dirt track racing influence. Denny Nash is the proud owner of the low-down coupe, and he hails from Chattanooga, Tennessee.

A '36 Chevy convertible is certainly a rarity and this one is simply flawless, with a slick coating of bright red paint and a perfect stance accompanied by a set of polished five-window wheels. Jim Ragland owns the bright red beauty.

Don Alexia came up from Dallas, Georgia with this satin black Model A sedan. The disc caps are a unique touch, as are the bright red accents, and the aluminum-headed small-block Chevy is sure to scream with this lightweight combination.
