Dana’s relationship with motor vehicles was established back in the 1980s when she blew the transmission on her ‘82 LeBaron while racing a TransAm on Revere Beach Parkway.
She blew that transmission a few more times before graduating to other vehicles. Then she married a guy whose business was hot rods. Five years ago, they opened Chop Shop Custom Hot Rods in Woburn together.
She’s not tricking out cars in the shop, she says. “I can tell a street rod from a muscle car, but I'm not into engines, I like the artistic side.”
Rather than racing or dabbling under the hood, Dana is involved in legislation to keep the hobby legal and viable through the SEMA Action Network. And she's going to be driving a '60 Olds (when it's done). You know, the kind with the “12-person trunk.”
