The Top 10: Thomas Dickerson's 1967 Chevy C10

After seeing Thomas Dickerson’s first build, a 1967 Mustang GT350 tribute that we featured back in 2023, it was fair to wonder if the SEMA Young Guns competitor could top it. Sure, he would hone his skills and develop new ones, but could he really take a big step beyond the ’Stang?

Well, with this 1967 Chevy C10 pickup, the answer is a resounding “Yes!”

Alky Hauler: Andrew Williamson's 1979 Chevy El Camino

Your first car often falls into one of two categories: a ratty beater you remember fondly or a cool ride you wish you still had. Andrew Williamson chose a rare third option: he kept his first car, transitioned it to street/strip duty, then refined it into a competitive race car.

Unreal at Any Speed: John Black's 1966 Chevy Corvair Monza

“Three questions I get: ‘Is it hot? Is it loud? Is it fast?’ Yeah.”

John Black is a retired aviation maintenance instructor who, with his ingenuity and dedication to speed, has created an autocross weapon that manages to address one of the safety issues that dogged early Corvairs: it handles—really handles. And with a stroked, 427-inch small block Chevy occupying the space where the backseat used to be, it performs more like a rowdy muscle car than GM’s thrifty, air-cooled compact!

Elephant in the Room: David Hart's 1969 Plymouth Satellite

Even for muscle car fanatics, spotting a genuine Hemi-powered Mopar isn’t an everyday occurrence. However, for David Hart, laying eyes on a bona fide original 426 Hemi engine was as simple as taking a trip out to his garage. There was only one problem: that legendary elephant engine didn’t have an engine bay to call home.

Raising the Bar: Bob Ramser's 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Set apart by its unique flat-plane crankshaft, the 5.2L Voodoo V8 nestled between the frame rails of Bob Ramser’s 2017 Shelby GT350 was celebrated for its free-revving nature and exotic soundtrack. Off the assembly line, the naturally aspirated powerplant breathes in air at approximately 1 bar—that is, standard atmospheric pressure.

Diamond in the Rust: Brian Reed's 1964 Ford F100

Stuck bolts, busted knuckles, burned coffee--there are any number of reasons why you might hear a little choice language exchanged around the typical auto shop. But of all the four-letter words you’re likely hear in the garage, only one is enough to make even the burliest wrench-turner blush: rust.

Mean Green: Paul Rivard's 1974 Chevy Camaro Type LT

“A lot of people come up to me and say, ‘You made an ugly car look good.’”

Wait…what?

“It’s kind of flattering, actually, because that’s what I wanted to do. I didn’t like the look of it, either!” Paul Rivard said, laughing.

Baby Bullet: Cool Hand Customs Builds a Thunderbird for the Ages

For Joe Tegtmeier, being a car guy involved going to hot rod shows with his father, Jim, and washing the family cars every weekend when weather allowed. The pair also built Joe’s first car, a 1971 VW. It was a classic father-son bonding.

Fast-forward to 2023. Joe wanted to have a classic American ride that looked and felt vintage but rode and drove like a new car. He, his wife Janet, and son Colt settled on a 1957 Ford Thunderbird—with a twist.

“We wanted to build something that combined the flowing exterior lines of the original 1950s ‘Baby Birds’ and sweeping interior of the 1961-63 ‘Bullet Birds’,” Joe explained. “We also wanted modern suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, fuel injection, and other modern upgrades, something we could just jump into and go.”

Savannah Slammer: John Deak's 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS

“Pronking” is the term used to describe the characteristic stiff-legged leaps an impala makes when it spots a threat lurking in the savannah. Simply put, it’s a show of athleticism to deter predators from chasing them: the chance of success is low, so don’t bother trying.
