Alan and Angie Johnson have assembled a crew that has been on fire since debuting a ’37 Ford Cabriolet Phantom at the 1993 Street Rod Nationals. Since then over 70 extreme projects have rolled out of Johnson’s shop over the past three decades and some of those will be front and center in the eighth “Industry Driven” display at the 56th Street Rod Nationals. Stop by and get to know the dynamic duo of Alan and Angie Johnson who also recently acquired Walker Radiator Works and revamped it into Johnson’s Radiator Works with many new appli- cations using 100-year-old brass and copper technol- ogy. In 2023 a ’54 Chevy Suburban JHRS built won one of the two “Manufacturers Choice” awards pre- sented by Alumicraft Street Rod Grilles. Industry Driven
