Farmtruck and AZN from Discovery's "Street Outlaws"
Farmtruck and AZN, both born and raised in Oklahoma, have made a name for themselves racing the streets of the 405.

Von Hotrod - Legendary auto artist and pinstriper
Terry Cook - Legendary Auto Enthusiast and Publication Specialist
Terry was a member of the Squires of Chatham, NJ hot rod club before he got his driver's license. He was the flag starter at Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ when it opened in 1961. He wrote a column for DRAG NEWS under the pseudonym BROOMFOOT in the early 60's, moved to LA in 1964 and worked as a full time staff writer for DRAG WORLD for several years. In 1966 he went to work as a writer at CAR CRAFT Magazine, later becoming the editor during the golden years of that publication. He then moved across the hall at Petersen Publishing to become the editor of HOT ROD for 1972-73.
In 1974 Cook moved back to NJ because his wife hated earthquakes. Terry started VANS & TRUCKS with publisher/owner Phil Engledrum and edited that magazine for several years until the van craze crashed. He did free lance writing and 1976 worked for a year in Manhattan as a staff writer (The Turtle Wrangler) for CAR and DRIVER under the infamous David E. Davis, Jr. Cook started EASTERN ROD NEWS which failed financially after publishing 18 issues.
After focusing his energy on building the SCRAPE Zephyr, in 1999 Terry had molds made off the car he designed and started DECO RIDES, a division of his Appleton Productions Inc. He sold the car for a record $275,000 in 2000 at Pebble Beach and subsequently sold about 50 fiberglass Zephyr bodies and then, in conjunction with Speedster Motorcars in FL, close to 50 complete Zephyr "turnkeys". His DECO RIDES Division of Appleton Proeductions Inc. is presently selling fiberglass Zephyr bodies and Boattail Speedster bodies and turnkeys. His cars are all over the USA as well as in Moscow, New Zealand, Australia and Slovania.
Up until the end of the last century Terry was a devotee of hot rods. In the past decade he has "evolved" away from street rods toward the sensuous streamlined coachbuilt French cars of the mid and late 1930's. Today Cook is "living his dream", re-designing and having DECO RIDES fiberglass and DELAHAYE USA aluminum bodied classics built by a variety of vendors. The creation of DELAHAYE USA in April of 2007 has taken him to the next level fulfilling his fantasy of building aluminum bodied cars, including a Shah of Persia Type 57 SC Bugatti and a Figoni & Falaschi Type 165 Delahaye.
In 2021 Terry was inducted into the Drag Racing Hall of Fame. He also has two volume "I Was There" 120 page books. Packed with more than 150 stories that they wouldn't let him tell in the magazines, with 200 photos.

Live in-Person Chop Top
Lawrence Grobe is a Kustom Car Builder and pinstriper based out of Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
He was born in the suburbs of Chicago in 1964. As a young kid he began building model cars
and racing BMX. As a teen, he began working on and customizing his own cars. As Larry’s
enthusiasm for cars grew, he drew inspiration from the forefathers of Kustom: George Barris,
Bill Hines, Gene Winfield, and Daryl Starbird amongst others. In 1997 , Larry created his own
car club called the VooDoo Kings. He also learned how to pinstripe and began signing his
striping work with the name, VooDoo Larry. He went on to open his own metal fabrication and
kustom car/hotrod shop called VooDoo Larry Kustoms. After 45 years of building kustom cars,
Larry has become known for his Kustom style and his outsanding metal fabrication skills. His
one man shop has been in business for 20 years now and Larry has chopped over 165 cars to
date. Many of his car builds including the Psychosis, VooDoo Man, VooDoo Kreeper, Phantom
VooDoo, and the VooDoo Sahara have been featured in magazines and gained worldwide
recognition.
