Ron’s Hot Rods1“This ’56 Ford pickup was my daily driver for15 years. It’s been in the family since it waspurchased new and my son Ryan now has it.It was originally used on my father-in-law’schicken ranch.”2“My ’37 Ford Tudor Sedan broke new groundwith a two-tone interior that matched theexterior. It was featured in the AmericanRodder Collector Special Edition, September1996.”3“I built this ’32 from a Total Cost Involvedchassis in 1997. It was painted in gelcoat soI could really enjoy driving the car. I could doa burn out and just plow through puddles.This was my rat rod before they reached theircurrent popularity. It was a great car.”4“I think I was the first to do a flame billetsteering wheel. I should have patentedthe design!”315Ron’s T-Roadster, taken in 1988. “The car wasfast. It would shift out of low at 65 mph. Ihad to drive slowly over bumps and approachdriveways at an angle because the oil plugwas really low, and I didn’t want to knockit off. The whole family would crowd intothe car to go to cruise night. Ryan and I gotcaught in the rain more than once. We had alot of fun with that car.”26“Having always had a passion for motorcyclesI began riding again about eight yearsago. Being childhood friends with awardwinning motorcycle builder Jerry Covington(Covington’s Cycle City, Woodward,Oklahoma) allowed me to use one of hisrolling chassis. Another friend Dean Padiebuilt this bike.”310 • Ron’s Hot Rods
