COKER TIRES
 Since 1958, Coker Tire Company has supplied collector vehicle enthusiasts with tires and wheels for many applications.
With such brands as Firestone, Michelin, U.S. Royal and BFGoodrich, the product line at Coker Tire is filled with high quality bias ply and radial tires. Coker Tire ships worldwide and attends more than 40 events a year.
Twelve Awesome Cars with Whitewall Tires
 There is no doubt that there are styling cues that stand out in every collector car enthusiasts mind. Whether it's the miles of gleaming stainless steel or chrome plated trim, or the beautiful color combinations, one common thread that ties many cars from the '20s through the '60s is the tires. And not just any tires - whitewall tires to be exact. The idea of a whitewall tire came about in the '20s, and it was common on all types of cars, even muscle cars, through the '70s. The whitewalls grew and shrank in size over the years, but a good-looking set of period correct whitewall tires can make a huge difference in the appearance of a classic car, hot rod or customized vehicle. The car's listed here feature true whitewall tires - not a port-o-wall or a modern tire that has been modified to feature a whitewall. These tires are the real deal, and they make these classic grab your attention just like they did when they rolled off the showroom floor. Whether you choose bias ply or radial construction, many brands and styles of whitewall tires are available from Coker Tire. Take a look at 12 awesome cars from the late '20s through the early '60s and see why everyone loves an old car with whitewall tires.

By using this team effort to car building we are able to accomplish nearly any task in the automotive build-up or restoration process. Troy Ladd was named "2010 Builder of the Year" and "Trendsetter of the Year" in 2007.  Raybestos Roadster Pickup Project by Hollywood Hot Rods  "RAYBESTOS" 32 ROADSTER PICKUPThis 1932 Ford Roadster pickup was built as a giveaway promotion for Raybestos Brake Corporation. The design concept was to create the ultimate shop truck with a vintage Indy car aesthetic. Unique features include low long sleek proportions, extended wheelbase, adjustable torsion bar suspension front and rear, one of a kind Indy car aluminum knock off wheels, the first ever Ford Coyote engine in a hot rod (2010), and the first Hilborn Coyote stack injection.  It also features a Speedway quick change rear end, 5 speed Tremec trans, Indy style skeleton brakes in the rear and vintage Corvette brakes up front.

From that humble beginning their business has grown and today they occupy an impressive 70,000-square-foot facility packed with restoration and hot rod parts and enough memorabilia to start a museum. In the huge showroom a number of famous rods and customs are always on display and you can grab a hot dog and shake in the '50s-style diner, appropriately dubbed the Chrome Grille.

FAQs For Classic Vehicle And Street Rod Owners
1: How often should I change my oil?
Quite simply - it depends. This certainly isn't the ideal answer, but it is the most honest one. Temperature plays a major role in the frequency of necessary oil change intervals. Every 20�F increase in oil temperature beyond 220�F shortens the life of the oil by 50%. This means cars that run very high oil temps will have much shorter oil life than cars that have moderate oil temperatures. Read On....Designed Specifically For Hot Rods & Classic Vehicles
Well suited for a variety of hot rods, muscle cars and vintage vehicles. This oil is an excellent choice for big block muscle cars, blown street rods and engines with original seals. Features storage protection additives that guard against rust and corrosion during winter storage.
Good for flat tappet, overhead and roller cam engines. No ZDDP or additives required. Viscosity typical of 15W-50. Formerly referred to as HR1.
The Importance of ZDDP ZDDP is the critical anti-wear additive in motor oils.
Here Lake Speed, Jr., Certified Lubrication Specialist at Driven Racing Oilâ„¢, explains how the proper balance of detergents and zinc are the key to protecting engines.

Our guarantee: if these aren't the best products you've ever used, give me a call and I'll personally buy them back - is unmatched in the industry.
That's why, every day, more and more enthusiasts are switching to Surf City Garage Enthusiast Grade� - because nothing else even comes close.

Mike and Rita Garner took home the Joe Bailon Award and the Sam Barris Memorial Award at the 2016
Sacramento Autorama with their
1948 Cadillac Fast Back, "TRILOGY"
The original chop was done by Dick Dean back in 2000 and then the Caddy sat dormant for almost 15 years. Mike Garner purchased the Cadillac and work was completed, with a few tweaks, by Keith "Kid" Dean over at South End Kustom. Original concept art was done by Steve Stanford. Waiting to hear back from Steve and if the art is in his archives.
South End Kustom was started by Dick Dean, the year was 1956 in Wyandotte, Michigan. Working for other shops, such as Clark/ Kaiser and the Alexander Brothers. South End Kustom stayed busy.
In 1959, at the Detroit Autorama, Dick met George Barris. George had told Dick that he needed to be in California. At the end of that year Dick closed the shop and moved to California to work for Barris. In 2005, Dick Dean was set to retire. His son, Keith Dean wanted to continue the "Dean" tradition . As a tribute to Dick, Keith reopened the shop as South End Kustom and is continuing the old school kustom tradition set forth by his father.

Boyd Coddington's final creation
Boyd Coddington may well have been the man who brought hot-rodding into the living rooms of Middle America, via his successful TLC television series American Hot Rod. Before his untimely 2008 death, Coddington was growing ever more determined to take the hobby in a new, coachbuilt direction, and next January his final creation, a 1938 Lincoln known as The French Connection.
Though it was listed by Barrett-Jackson as a 1938 Lincoln, The French Connection is really a custom build from the ground up, starting with a chassis from Art Morrison. The body was handcrafted of steel and aluminum by Marcel and Sons, while the interior required two complete cow hides and 15 ostrich skins to dress out. The wheels, hidden behind fully skirted fenders, are a one-off creation by Boyd Coddington, and even the colors should be familiar to those acquainted with Coddington's work, as the red is "Boyd Red" and the black is "Boyd Black."
SOLD $407,000. Includes buyer commission 
 
The crate on the forklift is full of radiator hoses, oil and air filter from a gas station inventory that we had purchased, years ago. Not out yet.....but soon.
Cloth covered wire, fabric loom, fender welt, body webbing and hood lace remnants.....
.99 cents each length or 20 for $10. Shops? Garages? Hobbyists? Swap Meet Sellers? Make an offer on the lots!  Two more pallets of FORD parts! More headliners for F1 and F100 pickups, tail gates, bed sides, wire spools from $2.50 each.

  Roy Brizio Street Rods has for more than twenty years earned a well deserved reputation for providing the parts and pieces as well as complete turnkey cars that have defined modern hot rodding. In fact, the Brizio name has been synonymous with quality hot rods for nearly half a century and has spanned two generations.
Our philosophy is simple: to build and help others build the finest looking and driving hot rods of our time. Our achievements point to the successful implementation of this thinking. We have built Oakland Roadster Show winners and Hot Rod Magazine's 50th Anniversary celebration "T" roadster, but perhaps our greatest pride comes from building dual purpose show winning drivers. No other shop the world can boast of putting more miles on their cars than Roy Brizio Street Rods.
We anxiously await the opportunity to assist you with your next project, whether it be just a few parts, a complete Brizio chassis or a turnkey cross country cruiser.
