Super Street Series – Street-Legal Cup Car Jeffrey’s Custom Conversions Builds A Race Car With A License Plate We’ve all seen the cheesy Thunderbirds and Monte Carlos painted up to look like NASCAR Sprint Cup cars, but this is something completely different. This is the Super Street Series (SSS) produced by Jeffrey’s Custom Conversions (www.jeffreyscustomconversions.com), and it’s no OEM stocker parading around like a racer. In fact, this is a nearly purebred race car tuned down enough to make it survivable-and legal-on the street. Jeffrey’s builds every car to order from scratch with 60 percent of the same components as the Cup guys use, and each gets its own VIN. That means there are no hassles trying to get a VIN transferred from an old donor car

2009 HOT ROD of the Year – Grade A 1930 Ford Model A Rookie rod builder Bill Steele’s ‘30 Ford Model A is the Goodguys 2009 Hot Rod of the Year You’re not going to believe this, but this stellar ‘30 Model A is Bill Steele’s first complete rod build. We’re not suggesting that Bill just fell off the truck yesterday with a crescent wrench and a claw hammer-the 38-year-old collision shop owner is a hands-on bodyman and painter and an accomplished custom bike builder as well. He’s done a number of partial buildups, “cars already started by someone else-that kind of stuff,” as he puts it. “But this one is my first car done completely from start to finish,” he swears up and down

1953 DeSoto Station Wagon – Copperhead SRT53 We take a look at the Taylor family’s future Power Tour ride After attending the ‘08 Power Tour(r) in Little Rock, Arkansas, hot rod builder Dennis Taylor (Dennis Taylor’s Reproductions) and his wife, Debbie, decided they wanted to be part of the fun. Unfortunately, they didn’t own a good road trip-ready rod. Noticing how easy it is to become lost among the thousands of similar muscle cars and hot rods on the Tour, Dennis decided to be as unique as possible and resurrect a ‘53 De-Soto wagon. Dennis fabricated a new chassis, building everything from the control arms to the rearend housing. To get it as low as the rendering by Brian Stupski of Studio PCK (problemchildkustoms.com), the body was channeled over the new frame, and Air Ride Technologies bags brought it the rest of the way to the ground.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle – Took A Chance DNA Restorations turned an eBay gamble into a ‘69 Chevelle show car in short order Online auto auctions are a crapshoot, since you have to trust that what the seller describes is true. Often, it’s not. But Dave Sherer and Anthony Musilli of DNA Restorations (Dave and Anthony, get it?) got lucky when they decided to roll the dice on a ‘69 Chevelle project car located in Colorado (they’re from New York). Because it had no engine, trans, or rearend and lived in a snowy climate, it was a risk, but when the Chevelle was delivered, they happily found it wasn’t a wrecked rust bucket. It wasn’t exactly nice, either

1969 Chevrolet Corvette – Supervette Kevin Triplett’s ‘69 Corvette is an ex-drag car that has been turned into a high-end street machine Making old racers change their ways isn’t always easy, as Kevin Triplett learned. Kevin began his career by creating a couple of cars for quick resale at the budding Barrett-Jackson auction back in 2003. Taking note of the adrenaline-fueled bidding fury and occasionally overinflated selling prices, Kevin knew a good opportunity to launch a career when he saw one, and by 2005, he was hauling 12 cars to the Scottsdale, Arizona, auction.

1995 Pontiac Trans Am – The Specialest Specialist Special Abe Finkel claims 10-second timeslips in his daily-driven 1995 Pontiac Trans Am Comp T/A Special is one of those words so badly abused by overuse that its meaning has been drowned, anchored next to other nonwords like “nice.” Particular, peculiar, exceptional-all mean the same thing. Special has devolved to the point of euphemism-one of those words to use when you can’t think of anything else nice to say, like describing an unpleasant new food you’ve tried as “different” or some incoherent, drooling Neanderthal you’ve just met as “interesting.” I keep picturing Dana Carvey as the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live, mouth drawn, eyebrow cocked, saying the word in question. I’m not laughing

Supercharged 2010 Camaros – Hennessey’s Hot Rods Hennessey Performance serves up three hot-rodded ‘10 Camaros, one of them with an LS9 engine Dude, where’s the shift light? In the 10 minutes it takes for your right hand and left foot to catch up to the HPE650 Camaro’s voraciously revving LS3, you’ll find yourself asking that same question with each and every stab of the throttle, in each and every gear. And that, friends, is a very good problem to have

1967 Chevrolet Chevelles – Opposite Ends We check out a pair of sharp ‘67 Chevy Chevelles Different strokes for different folks-that’s what keeps hot rodding interesting. Take these two sweet ‘67 Chevelles for example. At one end of the hot rod spectrum we have Ken Dutton’s clean, mostly original example. We love it just as it is-the Butternut Yellow paint paired with steelies and redline tires give it a classic muscle car look, and the swapped-in 427 underhood gets lots of respect at car shows and cruise-ins
