That’s the name of this hot ’32 Ford Cabriolet! This all steel car took 8 months of work from a team across the country to become an award winning show stopper. Owners Mac & Shelly Bernd did all of the work themselves getting the car down to raw steel and The Roadster Shop in Elgin, IL did the frame work. This Ford has been stretched 2 inches, the rear fenders split and widened and the 3 piece hood was stretched 2 inches. It has a Chevy Fast Burn 385 that’s been stroked with dual Edelbrock 500 CFM carbs and easily makes 425hp. Then Randy Borcherding and the crew at Painthouse in Cypress, TX went to work creating a custom color called Red Hot Melt Down. Ron Mangus of Rialto, CA did the custom red leather interior and Hartzcloth ragtop. It’s on The PowerBlock October 17th & 18th. Check out the other cool paint jobs at PainthouseTX.com

Another awesome Rat Rod sneaks its way into the PowerBlock shop. This 1931 Ford Rat was built by 21 year old Charlie Swanson of Charlie’s Custom Creations in Murfreesboro, TN. It’s powered by a 460 big block with a Borg Warner 75mm turbo charger. This rat has been chopped, channeled and shaved. It has electronic brakes and shifter. Those fat rear tires are 17×11. What you can’t see from the picture is the open roof that’s covered with a spider web. You’ve gotta see this Rat Rod on PowerBlock October 10th & 11th.

Nothing beats a beautiful host, truck and boat all in one picture! This weekend Courtney has a 1955 Chevy 3100 and matching 1959 Tomahawk Ski Mate in her shop. Both are painted in Viper Red. Owner Mickey Collier found the truck three years ago, just blocks away from where he grew up. He turned to Joe Towe of Classic Cars in Hendersonville, TN where the truck was media blasted and was in far worse condition than they originally thought. They did a frame off resto and it now sits on an ’84 Chevy frame. He dropped in a 350 crate motor and a 350 transmission. The Tomahawk boat was in equally bad shape. Mickey spent 4 months restoring the fiberglass boat back to ship shape condition. It has a 40 horsepower, ’59 Johnson Super Seahorse motor and a steering wheel from a ’59 Impala! Check it all out on The PowerBlock October 3rd & 4th.
