cars here this morning and we should have a contest to see if people can guess what's underneath the cover I'm with David Lane good real good all right well this is a a car that David did a restoration on and that's a little bit different for you I've seen a lot of your hotrod work I've never done a restoration before I've built hot rods exclusively all right all right well that's that's cool I'm sure knowing your previous work that you did a that you did a fine job what's underneath here we're gonna look at it in a minute but tell me a little bit of background it's a 1965 Mustang Fastback it's a k-code so that was the high pole it's a numbers-matching date code correct you know it's got the paint marks and that kind of thing and it's a factory GT also and was it one of your hotrod customers and had you do the restoration or was it a new customer just information this is my car oh this actually this would be left to my younger son he's always like these so I thought um we'll build him a car so that when I'm gone this is what he's got this is fantastic well this is kind of rare because usually the builders are always doing somebody else's they're done so you've got one for yourself well let's get this thing uncovered where's Mickey Smith he's got us doing all the work Mickey come on thing we're doing the hard work we're doing the heavy lift and you get this up covered here we go and this is what do you think of that folks looks pretty good huh all right this is a fast lane rod shop in Donahue Iowa David Lane I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that's the fit and the finish in 1965 them cars coming off the assembly line didn't look like this I'm gonna throw you I'm gonna throw you a softball here what kind of paint did you use we use exhaust good job anything in particular it's a particular what color is it I mean I realize it's red Rangoon red we had to go the factory colors you know the interior black and then the extras Rangoon red so it's a correct factory color and this is a true restoration so this really is the way they came off the line I mean basically it's got 15 inch rims on the rear which is easy swapped out but it just looks so much better otherwise this is this is factory original mostly factory parts a few aftermarket parts but mostly all factory parts what about the motor Caicos so it's a numbers-matching date code correct it's all accurate is it hood locked let's take a look under the hood oh and of course in true David David Lane fashion everything is super clean it's a GT so it's got disc brakes that's a special master cylinder it's got a heavier sway bar that's all factory little somewhat and and it's great that you're going to keep it in the family we'll see how long that lasts when somebody has I don't know very good good for you well thank thank you very much it looks it looks great thank you David let's move on down the row here everybody following me all right we're back to our back to our guessing games of what's what's underneath the cover here where's Roger at Rodger Berman from Lakeside Iowa that's lakeside rod shop I've known Roger for a little while in fact the next two builders have saved me a couple of times on the road good good yeah let's uh let's talk about it what is it I was actually an Arizona car it was pretty clean on the on the bottom but had some rust around at the top of it did you do this for one of your regular customers yes sir okay so it's somebody that has had hot rod and you know trucks and suv's are so hot right now I'm sure that's what he that's we wanted to wanted to do ran deep martsin of from from British Columbia well that's great a 1966 Chevy Suburban did you change everything like you normally do I'm not not like normal no it's just cleaned up you know we're gonna use this one as a tow pick for his pickup and so it was built you know with that in mind kind of you know double air front and rear and tried to make it as Cruiser friendly as we can you know I'm sure it looks good we'll find out alright let's let's pull the cover off of this one lakeside rod and rides Rockwell City Iowa 1966 Chevy Suburban who's going to help Roger MEK a where are you he's videotaping too well heck I guess I could do something besides talk huh boy that's a big vehicle very good so obviously it's it's it's down where word Roger go what what is that what's the suspension again spec chassis was there right air ride on on a row son runner Oh sir shop wow that's smooth hard to find the two doors like this isn't it three door was in 67 okay and what did you decide on the power plant a lot of torque for pulling so we used male t for 650 foot-pounds of torque you know and it's a lot lighter than a big-block more torque so what we went with and he's going to tow with it oh that's very gold trick can we open hood yeah that alright let's look underneath the hood John Gilbert folks hi John yeah well Roger is going to show us the powerplant in this son 66 Chevy Suburban whoo boy that's a LT for 8-speed automatic looking good looking good and we're debuting it here has driven got any miles on okay I'm sure you'll shake it shake it down you got a you got to do that well it looks great well thank you Roger thank you alright who's next I got a big old boy from Alabama it's got a car here where's that where'd my buddy from Alabama yeah I see come on this is the man in black is a Johnny Cash outfit here he's got black on his trucks got black on all that stuff good good well this is will Posey and will will has saved me a couple times - I think haven't you maybe wants to talk every once or twice well wills got a shop down in Alabama it's it's not really Gladstone are we gonna call it glass hoax Bluff it's hopes Bluff I like that that's cool this is what we're gonna see as a pickup truck that he just finished let me get my paperwork he write a 19-4 how rare is a 42 Chevy a 42 is pretty rare and they look a lot like a 46 but it's this is a real 42 right um they stopped production probably midway through 42 I would guess I'm pretty sure that's right yeah I'm not 100% but yeah is this a is this a build that you did for one of your regular customers I asked that to the other builders too just because it's interesting for us to know whether this is somebody that this is his first vehicle that we did for him he wanted a 42 because that's the year he was born he had the truck and contacted us he's actually a local guy he lives about 30 minutes from the shop and brought it down to us and we've done it how clean was the truck when you started what we used of the original truck is the top part of the cab and a little bit of the hood and a little bit of the front fenders Wow so we fab you found everything out the whole bits and fab the rear fenders running boards the hood top the back of the cab door skins we made all the floor firewall is 42 a single year model or did 41 the same you say 42 46 so did you have to chase some trim on it or now was it we made all the trim you can do that all right well let's get this cover off somebody's going to have to help me I can't do it all here big oak garage Hoke's Bluff al Alabama Wow that's pretty what what color are we looking at it's called blue ribbon and then black blue blue ribbon and black let's walk around it what did you it did you grill grill was in good shape or did you that grill part of its original and part of its aftermarket we cut it apart and and trued the lines up and just cleaned everything up and then we actually made these these trucks did not have trim that went around the grill so you kind of saw the gap between the the fender and the grill so we made that piece of trim to run around the grill to the to the to the front fenders and you said you fabbed a lot of the lower the lower part you had done you had machined aluminum by greening Auto company to kind of mimic the original ones we made the hood sides with the louvers in them and made all the running board trim and this took more than a month and a half yeah this was about a two and a half year bill Wow Wow good for you can you open hood yeah we're going to get we're going to get the hood open here it is we made a like a back window frame none of these trucks had a rear window frame so it really matches the front window frame made the stake pockets let's get over here and take a look there you go tell us a little bit about the motor the the motors just a crate 350 is actually started life as a ramjet didn't really like the looks of a ramjet so it contacted Dave Ulrich from auto trendy Fi and that's his tripower set up ice looks sharp looks good have you had any miles on it yet just two too much were they fairly trouble-free fairly yeah I'm sure you'll put a lot more miles on it once you get back home boy that is a sharp interior who did the interior in it Steve Holcomb done interior of Knoxville Tennessee well big will Posey from hoax Bluff it looks good

designed to be in business not passenger vehicles but commercial vehicles and what we look for we have a good group of judges three professional builders magazine editor and good people that know what they're looking for and what we're really judging is not how much money was spent it's not a high-end show it's a quality show what did they do to the vehicle and how well did they do it right and that's what that's what this is all about we picked three vehicles that we just we don't rate them one two or three we pick three vehicles and we give them a ward that's called an outstanding achievement award and normally we get 40 to 60 cars here a lot of people don't read their program and don't know that it's available we're looking for finished creativity paint work just overall and

rust bucket where did you find it I found it in one of my neighbor's driveway I begged him for about a year to sell it to me and finally I bought it and he finally his wife actually sold it to me to get it out of his yard no he wasn't sometimes it works that way right right money insult you truck in fact in fact in fact when she sold it to me she said and they got another one in the backyard Mike of my name's Tom Mike load that one up too and get all in pieces that's in that shed and load em on the trailer and bring them all to his house and I'll give him the titles for all of them and I said great take it I took it yeah that's a right take get it while you can yeah oh yeah and you got a lot of room inside yeah yeah we all stuff in it yeah we just started buying stuff inside so I'm just filling it up now tell me tell me some of the details with with what you've done with it well I got like a tri-five Chevy steering wheel on it I got the speed Hut gauges in there I built all this under - to hide the air conditioner and everything and put the vents and all in out of steel I got working spotlights on it I like the old school stuff with the visor and the skirts and that sort of

Street rod nationals really having a good time out here and so come on out and enjoy [Music] right they want me hey it's cherylin and we're coming to you live again from the louisville NSR a street rod nationals so I'm here with Scotty D from Scotty D TV now everybody knows you Scotty D but for those who don't let's just talk about a little bit about what you do yes ma'am well I run a YouTube channel and a.com so you can go to Scotty D tv.com that's ie or you can go to the YouTube channel it's on at about 8 and a half years and actually it started out as cooking in Hot Rods that's pretty good cooking and Hot Rods are cooking on hot rods well no we didn't cooking in hot rods good people get mad when you cook on the hood but I thought you know what better two things to go together than eating in hot rods and pretty soon I figured out that the hot rods were taken over and the food was kind of you know not paying the bills as well so we started pursuing the hot rods only so I shoot American Muscle mostly that's what it evolved into now what now now where do you go you go to car shows everywhere go to a lot of inner sorry events yeah well NSR a is a staple because they've been around a long time and they always bring in cool cars so I get this show when I do the Knoxville show and you know where it's SEMA and it's a bigger show is Detroit and things like that so we start out in January and take a break for Christmas but other than that anymore we're working about 11 months a year chasin hot runs okay so everybody check out Scotty DTV and right now we want to check out this car behind us there's one of your favorites right and I had just shot this car metal brothers debuted this car on Thursday morning it's a 68 Camaro twin turbocharged eighteen hundred and fifty horse if you can believe that and some of the things I really dig about it because they didn't go over the top because one of these cars you don't have to chop them or anything like that you know you're just getting into messing it up but it being twin turbo in a world in which everything is supercharged makes it really cool I like some of the carbon fiber effects they put on it because that kind of gives it a race modern touch street machine touch did a really nice job on the interior blacked out all the chrome you know so that those are details that you kind of overlook that you don't realize that one that was Chrome and if it was now Chrome it would stick out you know and where this kind of flows because the hinges everything is black and red and some deep-dish tires on the back just just an absolutely beautiful car well now this is metal Brothers hot rods right and they're out of Alabama net do you know anything about them or they just have this amazing car no I know I know David and Pam and Francisco and all the owners I featured their stuff all the time this is their latest build but they've got several builds that have been out in the past they always they're always down at cruising the coast um you know repping those events like that so you can find them around they've not been in the hotrod world for a long long time but they probably been building for seven or eight years we're doing my guess that's pretty cool that's a pretty young shop you know yeah they're doing some great work for being so young yeah and the cool thing too is that and David hates when I say this so I'm sorry David but David Koontz was a sprint car champion race sprint cars for 25 years and when he won the championship he retired and so nobody knew where he went and I was reading an article that had a thumbnail from one of my videos and I was like what's going on with that so I started to read that they were they lost David Koontz right to sprint car people had lost him and here he popped up in NSR a Louisville with this Camaro and he was building hot rods now so the next time I seen him I was like you know what are you doing you're more famous than I am and so there's his background and as you can see in a car like this this thing is built to drive well I was just gonna say it looks more like a race car and I was gonna ask do they race this yeah well it's just finished but I can promise you at some point this car is gonna see autocross duty because that's what David does with his stuff he builds him but he's not afraid to go out and use them and a lot of people especially in today's world get confused they see these high-end cars and I have no idea what kind of money they have in that car several six-figure some high-end work for sure right and they automatically assume that that is a trailer Queen not anymore guys not anymore the market is today that they want to drive them they want to show them for a year or two and then after that you'll drive them and you could go out in this parking lot right now and I bet you can find a three or four year old Riddler car sitting out there a great eight car cuz they're being driven it's true you got to get them out there to have fun well and we're here at the NSR right here in Louisville what's fun about this show oh man it's the NSRS biggest show to begin with so you know I don't know the exact number we're talking about ten fifteen thousand cars you know and if you could imagine a town the size of Louisville just going all hot rod for like four days and that's what you got going on so know if you've never been to an annus ra event get out and get to one and if you only can make one this is the one to make and because you can see we have inside stuff hi in 30-some cars sitting inside and probably eight or ten thousand cars sitting out and next year here in Louisville we got the 50th anniversary coming up so are you coming out oh you know it yeah yeah I wouldn't miss I wouldn't miss Louisville it's just like I say it's worth the trip I'm out of Knoxville so I traveled but yeah you're always guaranteed to have not only a good time but you're gonna have quality cars and the NS are a are just a great host and they run a great show they've been doing it for 50 years so they know what they're doing good people running it and good people showing up like you Scotty D alright if you want to find Scotty D go to Scotty D TV or Scotty D comm you go Scotty D tv.com and ask ya it's an IE not a why a co TT IE all right we are out we will be back to you live in a little while thanks for

wheels come on come on man I built them for the Eldorado that we built or the Eldorado should say Chris Andrews car and then it went into production which is what they're selling here but when I put

drawn all right so what else are you doing here you're in the u.s. mag booth what are you gonna do at the show what your funnest things us and Foose wheels booth but I'm signing autographs for for fans of the show and people that you entertain for years and years I want to know where you're gonna party at so you know all these people can come find you because you're live on Facebook right now as soon as I'm done here I'm going to bed cuz I was up all night can you believe this guy from work yesterday to a concert with my wife straight from the concert to LAX and flew all night and got here at 9:30 this morning I know that's no big deal because he used to make me work 18 19 hours a day and he didn't care about that right well I would do the eight days with zeroes we got two days off he did but a few guys tried I couldn't do it Willis he got to day eight but had to take a nap or the first episode when we did the search and rescue truck see I knew better than to fall asleep on the job because they'll film you sleep I usually slept only if I was gonna sleep it was usually when car was in the spray booth when it was at Mitch Lentini shop I'd go in his office and I'd get about an hour or two hours nap before cars ready to come out of the booth that's when the pranks happen it was good yeah good catching up with you we're gonna go check out the rest of the booth yep and then the rest of the show yeah okay let's check out this 35 Packard I've heard it's a really rare car and I actually walked up and I said what is this because I had no idea what this vehicle was hi so are you the builders the builders of this yes this is Brandon hi nice to meet you guys okay and what's the name of your shop roosters rod shop in Gaffney South Carolina so we build complete cars from start to finish and the cool thing is we do everything everything on the car is done by it's a frame all the way from frame to paint that'll work paint body interiors this young man is sewing leather interiors now so did you work on this vehicle as well yes I hoped all throughout the entire process of building the car I was there the entire way and so you did a lot of the interior yes I did cool how old are you I'm 15 all right here we got another one under 29 15 years old that's pretty spectacular because I saw the work in there and you did a really great job thank you he's actually designing some of the parts on a computer at home and 3d printing them and we're covering them and putting them in these cars okay that's high tech that is high yes so I'll sit he'll tell me what he wants and then 15 minutes later after some modeling I'll show them the proof of it and then we'll 3d print it and wrap it for the car now we've just been talking to Chip Foose and I see you got Foose wheels on here of course it's in the US mags booth so it would and are the what is the name of these wheels these are the Riviera's yeah I got it right Rat Pack line I like that that's a cool name okay so point out a couple of features that you think are spectacular I'm looking at the motor right now well the motors in ls3 430 horse and we also have the new GM 8-speed automatic in this car so that was kind of a challenge getting this 8-speed to work but it does work so we good now what was the horsepower that sounds like a giddyup but it sounds like you could ride this you know down the highway its 430 horsepower and the car rides and drives phenomenal so the car is built to be driven we have put bugs on it already there'll be a lot more bugs on it when we get home so but are there any body mods that we can look at the body mods we did we we made hidden hinges we got rid of the hinges out here moved all those inside now what is it hidden hinges hidden hinges we move the hinges from out here and hid them inside okay what else you got this spectacular original wine here where the this is the original spare tire line so we we had to remake these from scratch to accommodate the 18-inch wheel so we fabricated all that we custom fabricated the engine cover the the Hilliard's were used to be four-piece we separated them and made them so you could open singly the dash is all hand fabricated as well as the center console Wow that's spectacular to clean all that up we also put in a PCS push-button shifter so the shifter is actually controlled by the push buttons this is a rare car tell me a little bit about that this car is one of three on the National Packard registry and one of one with dual side mounts so this car is actually what they called a touring coupe it had a back seat and it had suicide doors it is a factory suicide door car which is pretty rare for Packard it's pretty rare in general so that center console what did it used to look like and what did the seats used to look like were they buckets the seats were it was original seat buckets with no bolsters or anything that tilted up so you could get into the backseat the dash was very short and round so let's go around the back I'm you know the the back kind of scares me because there is a very scary little guy there he's a very slow worker he's been there for two days and has it gotten very far so he's an old guy we'll give him a break so with this it's called a 120 and had dual trunks so originally there was another trunk here with a door where the spare tire went okay so dual trunks would be a top and bottom deal up and bottom so you have your trunk here and then there was a door here where they slid the spare tire so usually when you had a dual trunk you didn't have sight mounts for spare tires so that's what kind of the rare deal soli so we filled that in we moved the gas tank and then we actually put the death we created a very cool all right you've done a spectacular job I love that you restored a rare car and kept it going you know kudos to you guys for doing that and excellent work thank you very much as a pleasure enjoy the rest of the show I'm sure you're gonna have crowds here bugging you the rest of the time we're going to move on down and check out some other variables all right guys now these cars I'm having trouble recognizing them oh it's a Rambler this is a Rambler okay hey Paul's the guy he knows well I know her this is owned by a woman that races I know her by trackside Susie trackside Susie she approached us last year and she had this project and you know obviously this isn't off-the-shelf stuff so she needed somebody that could make a custom set for her in obviously kind of goofy goofy sizes and back spacings because those fenders cannot be stock and then did you tub it what's going on down there I'm not sure what all she did with it all I know is that she is an active racer she does auto cross in fact right now she's running hot laps for BFG but you know she's a great spokesperson and she gives us a lot of exposure of course because how many chick racers are there that's pretty spectacular I like it I like when I see a girl's car that's just spectacular and awesome and that she's taking it out and racing it pretty cool okay let's let's check out this Ford truck down here what's what's special about it well one of the reasons we wanted to have four truck is we just introduced this new wheel and the old Ford pickups have a five and a half inch bolt pattern that's really unusual very few people have anything off-the-shelf in that large pattern so this this wheel will fit the old f1 hundreds without having to change out your hubs and stuff so for the Fords and the old old Chevy's the guys that I want to change their six lug this wheel or comment five on five and a half and then for the Chevy's at six on five and a half right off the shelf so we have this chrome version the other side we have the the gunmetal and this is an interesting truck I only talked the guy briefly his name's Mike and this was his wife's truck and she before when they just got the truck she passed away from with cancer so she finished this truck in as a tribute to her it's really sweet really beautiful and and a great story behind it and a lot of love probably went into this truck huh for sure it's an excellent and he did a really great job comes in every morning a new waxes it cleans it and so he's really proud of that let's let's have a look at the motor just real quick I couldn't even tell you I like the story about the wheels just as well okay so and the chrome on this side he's waffling back and forth on which one he wants to end up with so your booth is huge you've got a ton you got a big crowd here bringing Chip Foose into the street rod nationals how's the show been and what are you looking forward to in the next couple days well we enjoy this show it's it's a great venue it's they do a great job putting the show on and we have so many different segments that we target whether it's the the trucks down in Texas the Fords we have Dooley line now because the the seat ends are getting hard to come by so the C 20s people are starting to dress those up so we've got a line of Dooley wheels we do restoration parts over here where people are wanting to restore cars to look OE but they want 18 or 20 inch wheels so that's a lot of fun down in Texas they're doing that tucking which they're taking brand new trucks and they're chopping the axles they put 26 by 12s on the back so we have that series and then we also do a lot of off-the-shelf stuff so this is our chance to showcase to the target audience and you've got everybody covered no matter what your style is or your preference we have other brands that target different market segments but so are you gonna get out into the outside and check out a bunch of cars at the show what do you do when you're I know you've been here before to Louisville so I pretty much stay in the booth most of the time and then we would take turns going out and wandering around you got to get out there if you get out to check out some cars come find me I'll go with you all right thanks for talking to us and we will see you live from outside a little bit later at the Louisville Street rod nationals hey it's cherylin coming to you live again we are with classic instruments at the NSR a pro pix chorale or is this an area it could be a chorale because there could be somebody wearing chaps out here I'm not wearing any chance coz it's a little bit warm so we're gonna talk to John and Devon from classic instruments and tell us a little bit about how this Pro pick area works well we like to get a good cross-section of what the cars are like and we look for the best of the best so we have industry professionals whether that be builders manufacturers or magazine staff or just somebody who's really into hot rods come we tell them to come out to this area pick their top 12 cars then we go in tally all the votes in the top 12 cars that have all the votes are the winners they get the pros pick Awards so very cool very cool so Tim what's your part in this well I'm actually good or bad so people is gonna hunt me down I'm actually one of the judges they've asked to do this for many many years and it's an honor to be able to do this of course they don't ask somebody to judge if they've got a car in competition I usually have a car in the builder's showcase or one of the vendors or something like I do this year so we it's kind of cool we get out here and talk to the car owners and look at everything and some cars you know it may be been great eight cars they've been only been indoors for quite a few years and now they're finally out in the Sun and I think they look way better out in the Sun so it's a great great group out here okay well thank you guys and I'm gonna actually turn the mic over to Tim and you go around and check things out and tell the people what's up okay thanks a lot so follow along we're gonna do a little Facebook live feed I've kind of pre talked to some of the guys to make sure they were by their vehicles some of the guys

to this guy with this truck and of course he's on his phone so again we're live in Louisville Kentucky at the big one the big street rod nationals been coming to this event since I was about 13 14 years old course it wasn't always in Louisville back then I think it was in Oklahoma maybe when I first went with my uncle so here is an amazing piece another guy I've seen on the show circuit for quite a few years come up here lots of stuff going on to this thing so tell everybody where you're from and who you are in a little bit about your truck I'm Donnie Johnson from Tahlequah Oklahoma the truck started out in the family 50 years ago my dad bought it when I was 7 to basically drive back and forth to work at the post office and my older brother learned to drive in it in 72 he won 256 Chevy's and my dad kept driving it for another four years I learned to drive in it in 76 he said do you want it I said yes so I've had it and been driving it 42 years this is a third restore I've done on it and painted it back real close to the original color tone as it was originally it was tan and then I stumbled across this little mailbox trailer about two and a half years ago at the NSR a show in Oklahoma City and I said what more fitting with my dad starting his career in 1958 with the post office these are 1958 mailboxes so I did this as a tribute to him he turned 80 in December so I finished it up last fall as a tribute to my dad that's awesome and the trailer is a new addition but midsummer last year maybe midsummer last year the trucks been finished about three years and then the trailer we finished up last fall yeah just take time to look at the details on this thing it is as smooth as one of these can get I know how hard these are gonna be to make them fit and look right to modern standards cuz I just built a panel truck one of them and they were utilitarian to say the least the way the hoods fit and the latches and the doors and this he's got side opening tailgate on it it's cut and rub to every inch that you can do on this so what's what can't we see what's the underneath of this thing the underneath is I kept the original frame just because it's been in the family 50 years so I put the ride tech level 2 suspension got the new upper lower control arms new tubular trailing arms it's all painted body color and of course it's got the ride tech air suspension so it's all the way down right now and it is still a roller while it's all the way down in case while I'm cruising I have a ride you know some type of air failure I can still get off the highway or whatever running on intro wheels and neato 555 tires got the master power brakes system so it'll cruise with that ls7 in it and it'll stop you got billow hood hinges up here looks like Eddy Motorsports billet hinges a lot of work up underneath this hood - that's correct all of these custom inner fenders are done with all of the punches have been custom made the pieces have been custom made I got the LS 7 with a 4 l7 2e transmission behind it it's got a 4 a 9-inch Ford rear end with 373 gears and you know all of the lot of lot of the this creases have been smoothed and you know the doors have got just immaculate closing capacity they're just dead a touch they'll close and I can what what is the hood latches those are custom made we well we've got the Eddie motorsport hinges and then we custom-made the little eye bolts and use mini bear claw latches for the hood latching mechanism where the latch used to be in the center when we cut all of the high radiator bracket support down we brought the filter right in the middle there where it the airflow is good into that ls7 very cool well thanks for taking the time to talk to us it's amazing as I say I've seen this thing all over the shows that we've been and it's usually at the top of the heap wherever it's at I appreciate it thanks a lot so again we're doing some Facebook live probably getting ready to wrap this up

Jim Rose Jim we are in Mopar country correct yes Mopar country is one of the events that's put on by the National Street Rod Association and we will be giving away five trophies to five of these beautiful Mopars that are out here today they will be in the winner's circle tomorrow at Freedom Hall now who can get into this area I know you got it you got to have a Mopar but what are the actual rules here well Mopar course is Chrysler Dodge Plymouth or DeSoto and now the AMC cars so the javelins and the AM X's and Jeeps can come in as well and it has to be either Mopar bodied or Mopar powered to be eligible to win any of the awards and we do highly encourage the use of our NSR a safety inspection program that's one of the things our judges really look for as a safety sticker in these cars what exactly does that mean that means that they have been checked over and I think you can see to my left here the guy in the red shirt they're doing an inspection on that car and they look at whether it has a speedometer rearview mirrors whether the brake lines and fuel lines are safely mounted there are 23 points that they actually look at and make sure the horn works and the wipers and that it's safe to drive up and down the road and that's something that NSR a has done for many many years to show that we are kind of self-policing because back in the day hot rod kind of had a bad connotation to it and we're trying to make public visibility look a lot better that's right here at the street rod Nationals we are safe now I know you talk Mopar don't you do you have a few Mopars of your own yes I do I've got that my 70 Road Runner here behind me and I also own a 48 Plymouth a 68 Dodge pickup and a 2010 challenger you might be the man of my dreams because I am a Mopar girl for sure I've had anything from super bees to old darts and I have a GTX so so we speak the same language let's go check out some of these cars you want to come with us all right we're live on Facebook so we're gonna show the people out there what we got here now let's start with your vehicle are you in this so let's go to eligible for the judging because I'm in charge check it out anyway right we'll check it out anyway where's yours at Oh spectacular Road Runner it's come off of a rotisserie restoration I think every nut and bolt got twisted on it when we were doing it are you a Mopar purist you have to have them all all the bolts o'clock the right way and everything or do you much because I won't have something that I won't drive on a trailer it's broken or stolen rod it's got the 383 it's a pistol grip for speed and it's called vitamin C orange it's got a 323 rear end in it I get almost 16 miles to the gallon going down the highway with it it's a beautiful car now let's go towards something that's Mopar powered next door here we have a Plymouth coupe that is Chevrolet powered but because it has a Mopar body he's completely legitimate to be here fantastic ok so you can go either way you can have the Mopar motor or you can have the Mopar body and you're in you can come into the country well let's head over here alligator so know it so no alligators gave up their high Oh alligators were harmed in building this car but it is faux alligator I like the word faux so so this is powered by an ls1 you said it is powered by Chevrolet yes and what's the body DeSoto is this your car sir well step right up I want to ask you about it cuz it's a beautiful vehicle now tell me about these wheels well they're built specialties or Khayyam wheels 21s in the back and 20s up in the front so you put an ls1 in there it's not an elephant it's a 6.1 liter Hemi oh it's got a Hemi in it we both missed it it's okay you're allowed to miss one that's a beautiful beautiful car sir no you didn't kill any alligators did you did you wrestle any we did not Brussels London nor kill any so everything is good with this beautiful car thank you for showing it to us have a great time with the show alright let's move on down the line we'll check out some more more Mopars here know Mopar Mopars we've got another Plymouth with a Hemi in it with a Hemi now here we got a little is this called a Abe yeah that's kind of a little van truck combo and that looks like a 66 or 67 with the we call them pie plates around the headlights so 66 and 67 had those larger areas in pretty rare these days you don't find very many a 100,000 that's right I built one of those years and years ago now let's move on down we've got a more stock vehicle here this is 67 and it looks it looks like they have the stock motor in here six we call them the Leaning Tower of Power this car is really nicely done now over here I see another Hemi yes a Charger r/t Hemi I know I see a few of these around but but these are that's a pretty spectacular rare car right very the 68 69 and 70 Chargers are extremely popular these days they're they're probably the hottest in the market if you watch the barrett-jackson or whatever the Chargers will probably go a little bit higher than a lot of the others like Roadrunners and things we got just about every make and model here let's see where we're gonna head next Oh a duster Dodge Chargers here today 70 Dodge Chargers asked him under the tent see this is bigger more parking see now you go on Facebook everybody's seeing this live on Facebook and then they're gonna

to talk about this Nova behind us is the 71 Nova right yes ma'am he sure is okay so next year is gonna be the 50th anniversary of the show here in Louisville and this is gonna be one of the giveaway cars that we're gonna give away to a lucky person who registers correct oh we're super excited to see it happen - I am - okay so tell us what that means you to be involved in something like that where you can give somebody an amazing vehicle well honestly this is the third one we've done and that's crazy in and of itself and part of the reason we continue to do it is just because it is such a joy to see the excitement in the spectators although the first one we gave away the guy was he was literally petrified stood there somebody had to usher him down the next guy he went from zero to a thousand on the Richter scale and excitement almost jumped off the balcony so we're just looking forward to what the story's going to be next year that all sounds cool and fun now what do you think about the NSR a I know you know you've been participating obviously for many years what does that mean to you oh it I don't want to get all choked up in Jiri I hear you've gotta live on Facebook but to be a part of the 50th annual in this industry is it's a super just a blessing for us to be apart and then SRA is such a great great company you know everybody loves this show and all of their events now let's get into this vehicle now what does it mean together no not actually hit it I mean get him to talking about it okay you're a funny guy all right so tell us about what you guys what are you gonna do to this thing to make it really special for the winner well we started off with a basic 71 Nova like you said to try to do I wanted to keep it as simple as we could but we needed to do a few things to make it special so we're doing a Pro Touring style and that's why you see the rocket racing wheels on it we got some big Wilwood brakes on it and that sort of thing we kept the bodywork simple I removed the drip rails on it flush mounted the back window got rid of the marker lights on the side but other than that it's going to be you know pretty traditional body-wise the bumpers we pinched those in sent them off to John at custom chrome plating to have those made shiny so they look good but for the most part looking at the car from the outside is going to look like a 71 Nova that's gonna be really really cool now you mentioned a couple of sponsors but I know this takes a whole team right there is a team of sponsors most of who are here at the show to help you build this yeah jiminy Christmas yeah if it wasn't for the sponsors I wouldn't be able to afford to do this so let's see if I can go through the whole list of my own oh we don't have time we'll see it up on the NSR a website and they can find out who's helped you build the car oh please do yeah look them up and make sure you go and you say that you saw in the car and and their parts on it we definitely want to support them because they've been gracious and wonderful and participating with it okay well thank you ty everybody check out rising girls you can find them in rising air duct your custom calm yes ma'am rising your custom calm and come on down and check out the 49th annual NSR a street rod nationals and we'll see you next year when we give away this beautiful Nova yes [Music]

builds that we've had over the years it's they become one and so whoever does win it next dog is - is gonna have a really spectacular pop-rock now I've seen a lot of your cars and I am a huge fan of your work but for the folks out there who maybe are just now here in Johnson's hotrod shop for the first time is the 32 something that's in your wheelhouse oh and very much so a 32 Ford is kind of the specialty of the shop very well known for building hot rods that have a great stance have plowed pipes and provide many thrills for their owners going down the road and here at the show we have several examples that are here and so our loyal fans or if you want to call it that and put great customers that we've had are still enjoying them and able to keep going down the road with them well I'm a little fan I really love you guys it's working thank you and you know it's a community here at the show and in the in the street rod world and so behind this I saw a sign and it has all the sponsors that are on board to help you guys so tell us about what that feels like to have that whole community involved well the big thing about when we were building this car is because Allen Johnson wanted to include all of our our partners that we work with on a an everyday basis on from you know our land speed builds that we've done we're getting ready right now for the Bonneville Speed Week that I'll start not in the end of next week and so we've got a lot of effort going into that so hopefully we can set some land speed records out there and but then you know just the people that that have helped us we wanted to be able to provide something and this the the roadster is going to be at that platform you know we've got something like 50 50 to 60 partners on this project so okay exciting I can't wait to see the car next year now I just have one more thing I want to talk to you about and looking behind me on the other side do I see a motor back there is that what's going in this 32 yeah one of our great partners is Keith and Jeff Thornton from automotive specialist racing engines that are in Concord North Carolina and we worked with Ford performance parts and it's based off the the Ford boss 302 blog it's an all aluminum motor that is set up to run the oil injection that's going to have an electronic fuel injection and that's going to be made it up to a boulder transmission it's an automatic transmission so it'll be noise shifting gears or anything so there's gonna be a get on the road you drive yes and word before next year we'll have worked out all the bugs and we're gonna put some miles on er so it goes down the road but that motor made over 500 horsepower so when you say you're gonna put a few miles on it does that mean I'm invited out to drive it sure come on you know we'll go for a road trip and you don't try to get all the bugs out so that when that lucky person wins next August they'll they'll be able to fire it up and go down the road no problem well I can't wait to see the car when it's finished it already is cool now but these guys are gonna turn this around and make it into something spectacular for the 50th anniversary we'll see
