It took Franklin Machicek of Point Comfort three years to restore this ’31 Chevy, which has been the first place winner in several car shows. He also has a ’50 Chevy truck which, in 14 months, Franklin turned from “a pile of junk” to first-class condition.

Jim Burno of Victoria has entered seven shows and won five trophies with his ’89 Bronco. Jim bought the vehicle two years ago and has completely restored it, all the way from the engine to the wheels, including upgrading the bed and all the details inside and out.
