The HOV Hot Rod
The HOV Hot Rod is the next evolution of performance machinery from HOV Services (www.hovservices.com) and Rucker Performance (www.ruckerperformance.com).
Ron Cogburn documented the entire build process and created a website including an online show. Log on to www.hovhotrod.com to check out the build from start to finish.
The HOV Hot Rod rolls with the top of the line Stage III chassis and the premium all steel 1932 Dearborn Deuce Convertible™ body from Hot Rods and Horsepower, which is manufactured in Detroit and is designed with a fully disappearing top.
The Rucker Performance team built the 1932 Ford convertible at the Fort Worth manufacturing plant – the same facility where Bill Rucker manufactures custom motorcycles.

“Once you go down the path of Hot Rodding you tend to Hot Rod everything,” said Bill Rucker. “We find tips and tricks in custom motorcycle manufacturing that we apply to Hot Rods and vice versa. The HOV Hot Rod is truly an unbelievable innovation.”
The HOV Hot Rod is Cogburn’s second project with Bill Rucker and the Rucker Performance team. In 2004, Ron Cogburn and Bill Rucker met to discuss and develop the Meridian Marvel, a long, lean, ground-pounding custom chopper. In addition to the chopper’s production, Cogburn set up an online television show – www.meridianmarvel.com – to track the stages of production of the bike from concept to completion.
