Judges:

Jeff Snook is the owner of Snook's Dream Cars. Jeff has been involved with old cars since he was a teenager in 1963. His interest peaked when he and his father restored a 1931 Model A Ford, Jeff's first car when he got his driver's license. Since then, he has collected many cars and currently is the owner/operator of Snook's Dream Cars, a classic car museum and repair shop in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Scott Dixon is the owner/operator of Dison MotoWorks Classic Car Restoration. He does frame off restorations of all types of antique cars as well as build custom motorcyles. Current and past restorations include a 1965 Mustang Fastback, a 1966 Chevelle SS Convertible, a 1962 Chevrolet Impala Wagon, a 1976 Chevy Camaro LT, a 1959 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible and a Dodge Hemi challenger. Being a true Gearhead, when he's not wrenching on cars or bikes, you'll see him traveling the country on his motorcycle. Tom Striggow - Tom's interest in cars began in high school when he owned a 1966 Ford Mustang. He now owns five Mustangs having done restoration work on three of them; a 1965 Mustang Convertible, a 1967 Fastback GT and a 1969 Mach I. Tom is currently a member of the Mustang Club of America and attends many Carshows and Crusin's in the area.

Dennis Chelminski - Dennis is the Vice President of Prestolite, an old automotive name to the local community. Dennis has been involved with muscle cars since 1967 and was the owner of a new 67 Chevelle SS 396 and a 69 Dodge Swinger 340. Since then he has acquired a number of GM and Mopar classics which he calls Ski's Dream Cars.

Terry Stetler, chief mechanic of Snook's Dream Cars has been interested in cars since he was a youngster and has owned many sports cars. A true automobile enthusiast, he has an extensive knowledge regarding cars of all ages including his current vintage sports car, the Triumph TR3. Terry maintains all of the cars at Snook's Dream Cars as well as prepares race cars and provides trackside service for vintage racing.
