 Michael Moal, son of famed...  Michael Moal, son of famed car craftsman Steve Moal, debuted his '29 Ford modified at the show. Besides a 327 Chevy, the roadster features front and rear torsion bar suspension, handformed rails, and an aluminum nose, hood, bucket seats, and much more. He also took second in his class.  Guitarist Eric Clapton wanted...  Guitarist Eric Clapton wanted a '49 Ford Tudor and contacted Roy Brizio for the build. Converted to righthand drive, the coupe received a 1.5-inch chop, the nose raked 2 inches, the decklid lengthened 5 inches, and a custom grille added. The motor-trans combo is a 402 Roush V-8 backed to a Tremec five-speed.  Pascal "Bugs" Jarrion rolled...  Pascal "Bugs" Jarrion rolled into Pomona from Burbank, CA, with his '35 Ford coupe that was built at Hollywood Hot Rods (HHR). Once a '36 sedan, it was converted to a three-window at HHR. Suicide doors, a 5-inch chop, '35 Plymouth front fenders, and a host of other custom touches lends credence as to why HHR's Troy Ladd was the featured Builder of the Year at this year's show.  Winner of this year's Brizio...  Winner of this year's Brizio Family award (for a street-driven street rod, '48 and older) was Ralph Berger from Chino, CA, for his '40 Ford coupe. His Ford in a Ford (302/AOD) also showcased an interior from Mark Lopez at Elegance Auto Interiors in Upland, CA, and a Ross Zie chassis. Berger also picked up first in his class.  Bruno Cirello's '61 Chevy...  Bruno Cirello's '61 Chevy bubbletop was stylish on the outside (thanks to the Rods by PG paint) but with some horsepower under the hood (thanks to the ZZ 502 engine). Ron Mangus did the smooth and cool interior in this ride too.
