Greg Zoetmulder's Supercharged Small-Block Jeep ​​​​​​​Runs 8S With Ease
As a 15-year-old gearhead growing up in the shadow of Chicago, Greg Zoetmulder set his sights on a 1967 RS/SS Camaro with the intentions of buying it and becoming the next local hero—until his dad pointed in the driveway at the 1980 Jeep CJ-7 you see here.

Take 5 With Troy Ladd
Eight years ago, HOT ROD wrote about Troy Ladd just as his Hollywood Hot Rods shop was gaining prominence and establishing itself as a thriving business. Now it’s well established, a thriving business and producing cars like its “Mulholland Speedster” practically from scratch. But it’s still in the same old, slightly ramshackle, small building in Burbank, California.
