First Impressions - Gary Brown’s Hot Rod Turns Heads at Hot Rod Drag Week 2025!

Few cars at Hot Rod Drag Week 2025 turned as many heads as Gary Brown’s ’33 Ford Tudor. Roof-chopped to within an inch of its life and barking with centrifugally supercharged combustion, this radical machine had us pining for the Bonneville salt flats. 

Gary is a street rod builder and restorer by trade at Browns Metal Mods, which made him the perfect man to take a ‘rusted out hulk of a shell’ and turn it into something special. 

“I built the car ground-up to do drag and drives three years ago,” he said. “And I finally made an event!”
