GREAT 8 HIGHBOY A 1932 Ford highboy roadster, wearing a PPG finish painted by Charley Hutton, was a Great 8 Finalist vying for the prestigious Ridler Award at this year's Detroit Autorama. Owned by Al Nagele of Wilmette, Ill., the car was built by the Roadster Shop, using a modified Brookville Roadster body and a Chevy engine packing 500-plus horsepower. Body modifications include a stretched hood, modified cowl, raised wheel rear openings and frenched '39 Ford taillights. Hutton used the ENVIROBASE ® High Performance paint system to create the stellar Jaguar Topaz metallic finish (PPG code 27900). BEAUTY TWO-TONE Photo courtesy of Street Rodder. This 1934 Chevy made a winning impression on the judges at the 46 th annual National Street Rod Association (NSRA) Nationals Plus and was honored with a PPG Best Use of Color award. The Chevy was built by Mark Giambalvo, owner of Creative Rod & Kustom in Womelsdorf, Penn. Technician Jason Dunkelberger gave the car its rich two-tone paint job using the DELTRON ® DBU refinish system (PPG codes: 926174 Garnet Red and 9700 Black). CONCEPT ® DCU2021 Urethane Clear provided the award-winner with its deep gloss look. Giambalvo's team worked on the car for more than two years to get everything just right.
