A RADICAL DRIVER
Some of the most interesting conversations around the office usually center on whether a rod built without shiny paint can be considered a finished rod or something else. There are some trendy names floating around that are often associated with these cars, but we don’t particularly think these names are appropriate or accurate for a proper description. Just because a rod has a satin finish doesn’t mean it is lacking any aspect of a finished rod. Rick Nowak’s ’48 Chevy pickup definitely falls into the latter category. As its owner and builder say, “It’s not a ratty rod; not perfect, just a radical-looking driver.”

Epic Adventurer
In the realm of off-road adventures, few vehicles command the same level of respect and admiration as the Ford Bronco. Harking back to its origins over half a century ago, the Bronco has remained synonymous with rugged exploration and uncompromising agility. Now, in a bold move that redefines the off-road experience, Ford reintroduced the Bronco Sport SUV, marrying heritage with modern innovation. Many people consider the Bronco Sport to be the baby brother of the full size Bronco. This build by Hypertech and LeachCo looks more than capable of hanging with its big brother.
