there is very little space between the tires and the bottom of the fenders. A couple of other “customizing”
terms you might have heard and weren’t sure of the meaning are: Shaving: removing of all door
handles and body
trim...mostly de- chroming the car. Frenching: tunnel in your
headlights or car antennae. Bob Johnson has such a passion
for this business and has been doing it for so long (35 years), that when a client comes into his shop and describes his wants, “my job,” he says, “is to make their dreams come to life.” While I was in speaking to Bob,
he was working on an old Volkswagen Beetle. He was putting in roll bars and a 500 horsepower motor, among other alterations to the Bug. He was making someone’s dream come to life. Our photos in this story are some
of the awesome cars done by Bob. I hope all of you get your cars
out early and enjoy every minute of summer, whether it’s one of the
several cruise nights, a nice Sunday afternoon drive, or an evening cruising Carling Ave.
