Brian Schimmel's 8 Second 1955 Chevy 3100 Truck - Body By Mother Nature

To a small slice of the hot rodding world, performance matters above all else. Whether it’s modding a lawn mower or a Studebaker, job one is making it fast, and if there is any cash left over, then maybe we’ll make it look cool.To a small slice of the hot rodding world, performance matters above all else. Whether it’s modding a lawn mower or a Studebaker, job one is making it fast, and if there is any cash left over, then maybe we’ll make it look cool. It’s a mantra that leads quite a few gearheads to build sleepers or beaters. A fast car or truck with just the right amount of patina or straight-up rust doesn’t need a $10,000 paintjob or a powdercoated chassis to draw a crowd or elicit an ear-to-ear grin from its owner. A stupid-quick lap time will suffice and in many cases, overshadow a lesser-performing show car. It’s a lot like cooking; you can put as much food coloring in weak sauce as you want, but it will still leave you hungry for the good stuff.
