Dennis Overholser purchased his first hot rod during high school, a 1933 Ford three-window coupe with no engine or transmission. After high school Dennis attended Nashville Auto Diesel College, and it wasn't long before he was in school again, this time for electronics, paid for by the U.S. Air Force.
