When the Pigeon Forge Rod Run tasks me with putting together the ScottieDTV Dirty Dozen, I take the job seriously. The event pays me to scout the country and invite the absolute baddest cars and trucks to fill the display—meaning the Rod Run staff and the crowd had never even laid eyes on this stunning 1969 Chevrolet Nova until it rolled through the gates because I personally invited it!

I actually tried to shoot this car earlier while it was getting its custom work done over at Steve Holcomb Pro Auto Custom Interiors, but my travel schedule didn’t line up. Seeing it fully finished and on display at the 2026 show made the wait completely worth it.

This ’69 is a masterpiece. It features a brilliant bright blue paint job sporting white Yenko-style graphics that give it a killer vintage vibe (tribute or not, it looks incredible). Under the hood, it features an ultra-clean LS swap that is tucked and shaved to perfection.

Inside, Steve Holcomb absolutely knocked it out of the park again with a full custom grey leather interior that perfectly balances classic style with modern luxury. To round out the pro-touring package, the car sits on custom wheels with fully upgraded modern suspension and big brakes to handle all that LS power.

Out of the 14 elite vehicles I hand-selected for the showcase this year, this Nova was an absolute crowd-pleaser.

Check out the full walkaround and let me know what you think of this hand-picked beauty in the comments!

We kicked off opening day at the 2026 Pigeon Forge Rod Run Spring event with an absolute bang! On Thursday morning, we officially unveiled this incredible 1970 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible as part of the ScottieDTV Dirty Dozen display, and it stole the show right out of the gate.

Built by Dustin and the incredibly talented team at Classic Restorations of Southern Indiana, this Malibu is the perfect definition of a “stealth” pro-touring machine. It retains a gorgeous, high-level stock appearance, but the flawless fit and finish tell you it’s a custom masterpiece.

Painted in a deep, beautiful factory Forest Green, it features a modern black Stayfast canvas convertible top that looks sharp and is built to last. The interior matches perfectly with a black aftermarket kit that mimics the stock look while upgrading the comfort, complete with Vintage Air to keep things cool.

Underneath the timeless lines, this Chevy is a modern performer:

Under the Hood: A super-cleanly installed GM Performance 350 crate engine, upgraded with fuel injection for effortless modern reliability.

Stance & Suspension: Full Ridetech suspension components give it the perfect stance and razor-sharp handling.

The Wheels: A killer touch—they look exactly like the iconic factory rally wheels from back in the day, but they are actually custom 18-inch 3-piece aluminum wheels.

Dustin always knocks it out of the park, but high-end restorations like this are truly his jam. If you love a classic muscle car that looks factory-fresh but drives like a brand-new machine, you can see exactly why this ’70 Malibu earned its spot in the Dirty Dozen!

In this video from the 2026 Pigeon Forge Rod Run, we take a close-up look at an absolute masterpiece of custom fabrication: a 1953 Chevrolet Pickup Truck built by the incredibly talented team at Garret’s Rod Shop out of Columbus, OH.

Dubbed “Mjölnir,” this truck earns its legendary name. Coated in a striking medium gray paint that perfectly mimics the look of Thor’s mythical hammer, this ’53 Chevy strikes a flawless balance between classic styling and an aggressive, modern stance. Garret’s Rod Shop went above and beyond with the custom fabrication, sharpening the lines and giving this truck a much meaner attitude than anything that rolled off the assembly line in 1953.

Under the hood is a beautifully clean LS3 install, packing the kind of modern punch a truck named Mjölnir deserves. It’s built to drive, too, riding on a fully updated modern suspension, heavy-duty modern brakes, and a killer set of custom wheels that tie the whole build together.

Slide inside, and you’re greeted by a stunning, full-custom medium brown leather interior. It’s a perfect, warm contrast to the industrial gray exterior, proving that no detail was overlooked on this build.

“Mjölnir” was so impressive that it earned a well-deserved invitation to the 2026 ScottieDTV Dirty Dozen right here at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run!

At the 2026 Spring Pigeon Forge Rod Run, I caught up with one of the most insane, no-compromise pro-touring builds on the planet: Angelo Vespi’s 1987 Buick Grand National, better known as the “GNXS.” Built by Paul Van Nus and the elite crew at Dutchboys Hotrods, this jaw-dropping machine was a natural fit for the 2026 ScottieDTV Dirty Dozen inside the LeConte Center! In this widescreen 4K feature, I sit down with Paul from Dutchboys Hotrods to get the full story behind this four-year masterpiece. Winning the Goodguys PPG Street Machine of the Year was just the beginning—this car completely redefines what an ’80s G-Body can be. Dutchboys threw out all the notorious factory plastic trim and hand-fabricated the front end, bumper strips, and aggressive GNX-inspired fender flares entirely out of sheet metal and aluminum, finished in a flawless, mile-deep Black Glasurit paint. Under the hood, the factory V6 is long gone. Instead, Paul walks us through a Pro Mod-inspired, twin-turbocharged 427ci Mast Motorsports LS7 V8 pushed to an absolute limit of 1,400+ horsepower. With a fully custom Dutchboys chassis, Detroit Speed suspension, Greening Auto center-lug wheels, and a mind-blowing, 3D-printed custom leather interior by Avant Garde Design, there isn’t a single factory piece left untouched. Check out the interview with Paul as he breaks down the incredible engineering, the fabrication challenges, and the sheer vision it took to build the ultimate sinister street machine.

In this widescreen 4K feature for ScottieDTV, we catch up with the team at Steve Holcomb Pro Auto Interiors just as they are putting the final, flawless touches on this incredible 1965 Chevrolet C10 Street Truck.

If you like your custom trucks to stand out, this one is a total knockout. The exterior wears a wild, bright green paint job that is almost the exact shade of antifreeze—and it looks absolutely killer under the shop lights. Striking a perfect contrast against that electric green are a set of custom metallic grey wheels and matching metallic grey bumpers that give the truck a modern, aggressive edge.

Inside the cab, the master craftsmanship of Steve Holcomb and his crew is on full display. They’ve treated this C10 to a completely custom grey leather interior. To tie the whole build together, the leather features precision green contrast stitching that perfectly matches the truck’s vibrant exterior paint.

Under the hood, it’s all business. You’ll find a beautifully clean engine bay housing a potent 383 Stroker V8 engine mated to a smooth automatic transmission, ensuring this street truck has plenty of go to match its show. With its low, aggressive stance and exceptional build quality, this ’65 Chevy C10 is finished to an incredibly high level from top to bottom.

Is this the ultimate 1969 Camaro? 🔥

At the 2026 Pigeon Forge Rod Run, I caught up with the crew from Justin Nichols Paint and Fab, and they brought out an absolute masterpiece for this year’s ScottieDTV Dirty Dozen. Built for repeat customers Tom and Sherri, this ’69 Chevrolet Camaro is a mind-blowing mix of hardcore Pro Street attitude with some ultra-clean Pro Touring touches.

Every single square inch of this car has been massaged, tucked, and smoothed to perfection. It wears a jaw-dropping, custom-mix Root Beer Brown paint job that absolutely glows in the sunlight, broken up by a killer accent stripe down the side capped off with a bright orange pinstripe.

But it’s not just a looker; it’s built to perform. This beast features a completely custom suspension setup and high-performance brakes, all riding on a classic, aggressive Pro Street style wheel and tire package that gives it the perfect, mean stance.

You already know Steve and his crew are the absolute best in the business, and they have knocked it out of the park once again with a gorgeous, completely custom tan leather interior that complements the vibrant red paint perfectly.
