ever one to mince words, pro car-builder Steve Strope says of the Pro Street look, “Everything just looks better with Mickey Thompsons and ’tubs.” He’s obviously a fan. Steve recalls many happy days at various iterations of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals and HOT ROD Summer Nationals throughout the ’80s and early ’90s. Way before he moved to California and became known as a pro builder, Pro Street was his thing. He added, “We’re talking about something that’s an aggressive piece of machinery. It commands attention.” Whatever your aesthetic opinion of the Pro Street look is, there’s no denying the truth in that statement.
