    Austin's very own Laura aka El Laura wins BIG!!! If you don't know Laura's White & Pink 1959 El Camino you don't get out much. The Rodder's Journal awarded Laura and her ride as their " Best Hot Rod " at LSRU, WOW!!!. Laura built this car on a small budget and works on it herself and drives it everywhere. We are blessed to have her as a friend and fellow hot rodder here in Austin. Very cool Laura, they couldn't have picked a better person for this award.:):):):):)

    I was pretty weak when I first seen that car on Congress. I did not know that '59 Elky's and budget could go in same sentence. I love it and think it deserves TRJ award. Awesome...just plain awesome.
