The $20,000.00 cash award Go for the Gold is a complex award, as it is the combination of creativity, workmanship, execution, and individual design with imagination.

These vehicles were all awarded a Fine Nine Trophy for being a part of this prestigious competition. Schieder's cabriolet was also the winner of Darryl's Personal Choice award, and the Hall of Fame choice went to the unbelievable Takeout T owned and built by Russ Freund.
