2009 Goodguys PPG Nationals - Hello Columbus
 Don Keller's handbuilt '35...  Don Keller's handbuilt '35 Dodge rolls on some cool piecrust whitewalls and artillery wheels, with a 350 and TH700 for power. |  The center tank holds fuel...  The center tank holds fuel and the red ones are filled with air for the compressors for the four-corner bags that dump Don's Dodge on the ground. |  Charles Blanton has owned...  Charles Blanton has owned his twice-rebuilt '35 Chevy for 20 years and did it all himself-minus the interior. |  The tool box and bed floor...  The tool box and bed floor are finished in unstained Ohio wild cherry from his grandfather's farm. |  Another long-haul hauler is...  Another long-haul hauler is Rik King's LT1-packed '46 Chevy, from Lake Jackson, TX. Traditional rod-style paint includes some elaborate pinstriping (look closely at the nose and headlight housings). |  Variations on golds and browns...  Variations on golds and browns are the popular colors on hot rods and custom cars now, and Leonard Ginier's cinnamon '36 Ford wears its own variation well, not to mention the chrome reverse wheels with knock-off caps. |
 Business or pleasure? Whatever...  Business or pleasure? Whatever the reason Bob Lusetti chose to bring his '51 Ford cab to town is OK by us. It's powered by a Chevy and, in addition to those purple graphics, also wears the Sharpie signature of customizer George Barris. |  Bill Steele's Hemi-powered...  Bill Steele's Hemi-powered Model A coupe has been all over the car mags and is Goodguys' 2009 Hot Rod of the Year. But we also like that '64 Chevy C10 Fleetside keeping it company. Bill, owner of Steele Kustoms, reworked the entire truck, but kept the time-honored paint. |  A lot of original stuff remains...  A lot of original stuff remains on Ron Strader's '54 Dodge C-1-B 1/2-ton, including the 218ci six-cylinder mill and three-speed. The Dodge has 69,000 original miles. The paint has been redone in the eight years he's owned the truck. |  Suede sea green and tomato-red...  Suede sea green and tomato-red steelies with caps drew our attention to Randy Amos' nostalgic '53 Chevy, with a stovebolt and five-speed to get him back to Clarksburg, WV. |  Chopped and channeled, open-wheeled,...  Chopped and channeled, open-wheeled, and loaded with patina and personality, James Scandale's '48 Ford took no awards, but looks like it's been fun to build and fun to drive. |  The green paint zapped our...  The green paint zapped our retinas before we focused on Dave Rieger's '50 Willys pickup, built by Dave himself at Classic Revivals in LaGrange, OH. The 1.89L Isuzu diesel engine can also burn biodiesel, so it's even greener than it looks. |
