A 22 year love affair has created this slick ‘55 DeSoto Fireflight owned by Dustin Cooper. Dubbed “High School Sweetheart,” Dustin bought the car stock at the age of 15 and has been steadily working on it ever since. Some highlights include a 3-inch chop, ‘56 Oldsmobile head- lights and ‘56 Packard taillights.
Hammered, slammed, and ready for action! Chuck Holsclaw Jr. out of
Shepherdsville, KY, stuffed his 5-inch ham- mered Model A with a 400-horse 350 wearing six deuces, a leather inte- rior, and Coker wide- whites on Coker steelies.
We couldn’t get enough pictures of Royce Horenkamp’s ground-scraping ‘40 Chevrolet. Royce has owned the convertible since 1973 and rodding it had been on his ‘bucket list’ for years. Kudos to Royce for scratching one more off of the list and building an amazing street rod! Rightfully so, it was chosen as the “NSRA West Central Reps” pick.
