The Rod Benders have been at it since 1981 and we love their “Co-Host Club Pick” Jim & Zak DeBruyn’s ’32 Ford Tudor with a 1957 Y-block 312 wearing six carbs on a Weiand intake, a 3 1/2-inch chop, an actually dropped axle, and quad headlights. Not a word about its history in the info we got.
Our friends over at Alumicraft Street Rod Grilles gave a “Pros’ Pick” to Ron Vorholt’s laidback ’33 Ford cabriolet that drove in from Richland, MI, under a hardtop, on a tubular IFS, and shinning in deep black with a matching interior.
Kalamazoo-local and collector extraordinaire Jim Conway brought out his “Rep/Safety Pick” winning ’63 Chevy Impala with a 327/700R4 powertrain, Rocket wheels, and the original white paint and interior.
