The new millennium brought forth a new form of styling and look to the Ridler and Great 8 cars. It also brought with it yet another generation of professional car builders. Wes Rydell's '35 Chevy "Grand Master" became designer Chip Foose's first build to win the award in 2002. Foose returned again the following year with a '34 Ford, "Stallion", for Arizona's Ron Whiteside, which made him only the third builder in the show's history, and the first since Jerry Pennington, to win the award two consecutive years in-a-row.
