Casey Tollini's '48 Chevy was a clean classic that must have been inspired by Hooter's. That's the only way we could figure that he came up with that color combo, but it sure does look good. | 
The girls of Hells Belles and company were out to make all the guys go crazy. | 
Kenny and Jessica Murray made it all the way to the show from Farmersville, Texas, in this '59 Chevy Stepside. Talk about hardcore! |
Hot-rod legend Bill Hines was out signing autographs. He also brought out his "El Kustom" '59 El Camino with its super-clean body. | 
With some trimming of old sheetmetal and possibly a beefy engine, you can have a hot-rod truck that's ready for kick-ass burnouts. | 
Custom louvers are a good mod that fit the old-school look. Look at these-they even came complete with flames and pinstriping. |
