Goodguys 12th Lonestar Nationals - Texas: Bigger (and Badder)
 We predicted big things from...  We predicted big things from Don Hachenberger's '56 F-100 back at Del Mar when it was just a chassis. The No Limit-built 1,300hp truck was a runner-up at the F-100 Super Nats but found glory here at Fort Worth - winning the Late TOTY award as well as a Top10.  Jack Davis came all the way...  Jack Davis came all the way from Boise, Idaho, to show off his two-tone '46 Chevy. It features lots of unique body mods and a clean 383 under the custom hood.  Steven Fox chose black inside...  Steven Fox chose black inside and out for his super-clean '57 Chevy that is powered by a new ZZ4.  On Sunday, the Early and Late...  On Sunday, the Early and Late TOTY finalists were lined up in the corral, along with the remaining Top 10 picks.  This '36 Ford was caught in...  This '36 Ford was caught in action heading through the winners circle as the final TOTY finalist. Among other things, it had one of the cleanest "Super Cab" jobs we've seen.  Another TOTY finalist, the...  Another TOTY finalist, the '72 Chevy longbed owned by Al Taylor was a back-burner project at Rad Rides by Troy and was actually built to tow an AC Cobra to shows.  This immaculate '32 Ford was...  This immaculate '32 Ford was yet another TOTY finalist and featured a dressed ZZ4, 3-1/2-inch chop, and mahogany wood bed. Dana Elrod is the proud owner.  Judy Burk and Darla Vogt showed...  Judy Burk and Darla Vogt showed up late with their deep-purple '64 Chevy Stepside and were parked way in the back 40. Luckily, we had one Top 10 left when we strolled by. We like the 22-inch Rollers from B.A.D.  Jason Wilson's '53 "push truck"...  Jason Wilson's '53 "push truck" had just the right old-school flavor. The flat red and white paint was rubbed off in all the right places.  Daryl Martinsen's '70 D-100...  Daryl Martinsen's '70 D-100 short box runs a 440/727/8 3/4-inch combo and sits right, thanks to a Fatman IFS in the front and a No limit Fat Bar four-link in the rear. We hope to see more D-100s finished to this degree. This Dodge lover also qualified to win the Goodguys giveaway Dodge Magnum later this year.  Would you believe that Roger...  Would you believe that Roger Bennington wasn't even going to enter his '40 Ford in the TOTY until we talked him into it? And wouldn't you know he ended up a finalist! The classic gray two-tone paint was awesome, and the theme was carried into the Strange Motion interior.  Mike Lazear found this '51...  Mike Lazear found this '51 Chevy on a farm about 30 miles away from the speedway, and once it had a new drivetrain and suspension, he called it done. By the way, the farm fresh truck does not ride on airbags - that's the ride height!  Who can resist a Flathead-powered,...  Who can resist a Flathead-powered, chopped '32 highboy pickup? Not us, or Goodguys - they gave it the Cool Commercial award.
