Who says you have to have hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a beautiful car? Tile-installer by trade, Ray Maruska has built a car per year for the last 25 years, and he did all the work on his current ride, this '40 Ford Deluxe convertible. The car has been chopped, channeled, sectioned, and mini-tubbed and runs an all-Ford drivetrain.
Allen Smith's 1937 Oldsmobile four-door sedan sits on a stock frame with Mustang II IFS up front and a Chevy rearend. An early Hemi will be used to power the family hauler.
John Balanik built this '37 Packard 120 convertible from a pile of parts that he trailered to his Mentor, OH, home. The drivetrain consists of a 350ci Chevy crate engine, a 700-R4 trans, and a 9-inch Ford rearend, while the rest of the Packard remains true to the original design.
