No, not Spence Murray. The Roadster was built by Dee Wescott in the mid ‘50’s, but that doesn’t look like Dee either. It is probably Bob Hooper, he bought the car from Wescott.

 

Trendero was built by Dave Puhl and John Malik at Trend Automotive in Lyons, IL.
Tiago’s custom had the truncated quarters and open front wheel wells, I think it was an East Coast car.
