Lots of cool ideas on Kent Gehrls’ ’50 Willys that you’ll see in “Car Art” over the next year. Kent stretched the cab 10 inches, built a custom frame, gave the Willys a 472ci Caddy powerplant, and left the original green paint it had from the junkyard in Grand Junction.
We first saw Tamara Houseman’s ’56 Chevy Nomad out of Geneseo, IL, at the Nationals and we had to know more about the Tri-Five that has a Roadster Shop chassis, stock colors done in perfection, LS3 power, and now a “StreetScene Pick.”
Mark & Allison Jasperson came down from Waterford, WI, in their ’65 Chevy Malibu station wagon which means they proba- bly had all their friends’ stuff in the back. They dragged it all back using a 305/TH350 power- train, spinning American wheels, and with a “Rep/Safety Pick” trophy on top of the pile.
