The mirror finish on this A hiboy, along with the trick '35 style wires, tells there is much to apprciate underneath.

Phil Roder's all steel '41 Willys brings the gasser look to the street rod scene.

Bob's steel T has a repro body, however the T dimensions have been puffed out to suit the much wider '32 frame. Would we call this the Obesi-T? Pete Schreifer's red '28 A roadster is out the back.

Jim Rieker's Model T trackster looked great from this angle, flashing glimpses of a late model hi-per Chevy, and trick front suspension.

Hung off the quickie centre section is a billet nerf bar. This car is cool from front to back.

Brizio doesn't insist on pre-'49, in fact his Dad's picnic attracts 600 cars from the year dot to 1972. This Vette is very welcome at both events.

A Willys coupe or two should be compulsory at every run or show.

Hows this for a variation on the Super Bee stripes?

The staff parking lot - Jack Stratton, the owner of the black '55 works for Roy, while the gold '55 is Roy's.

Dick Deluna's 40 coupe has had the Hollywood treatment with the chopped top, filled rear quarter window and smooth rear wheel spats - all extremely  fashionable in the '50s and '60s.

However, the main interest was on the back of the car, with a hand formed independent rear that uses such unlikely items as friction shocks.

Nothing store bought about the front end either - ¼ elliptics aren't common, but they work better than transverse in most situations. Note the shocks.

The Bob Henriqez deuce has been coming to Roy's for many years.

The California influence is obvious in this bright '34 hiboy. Northern California has its own look, with regard to customs, but early rods tend to appear similarly well styled.

While the Duvall style windscreen is a popular device when building period type cars, it doesn't seem to suit the boxy Model A body. Not so on '35/'36 Fords - such as this.

Give up? Its a '36 Cabriolet.

Roy Brizio's '55 Chevy was the July Rod & Custom magazine cover car. Kerry's photo accentuates the symmetry and great colour.

Dick Deluna's other car -  a superbly detailed '32 hiboy that runs red wires.

The billet quick change centre section use inboard discs and single control arms, but it sure isn't a Jag part.

The '40 woodie was being finished in preparation for the Santa Cruz woodie event coming up soon.

Beats me. This front end requires more investigation, so I suggest you buy it, for just $85k, and let us know how it works. Call Dave, on (408) 997 3893.

Cal Tanaka's '46 coupe uses the modern idiom of painted bumpers, and continues it to the grille and light surrounds.
