Goodguys Trendsetter Award: Will Posey of Big Oak Garage
Goodguys presented Will Posey of Big Oak Garage in Hokes Bluff, Alabama, with its prestigious Trendsetter Award during the Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) reception at the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The award is given to rising young builders in the hot-rod and custom car industry and is a highlight among SEMA’s annual industry show.
Known most recently for the 1961 Chevy Impala Dirty Martini (recipient of the Best Street Cruiser category within the Triple Crown of Rodding), Will Posey and his team at Big Oak Garage were recognized for having won accolades such as the 2022 Chevrolet Performance GM Iron Builder of the Year and Goodguys 2022 Fuel Curve Custom of the Year, and for being a contender for the Al Slonaker Memorial Award. The shop’s brilliant green ’65 Dodge Dart was also noted for becoming a Great 8 finalist at the 2015 Detroit Autorama, as well as a Goodguys Steet Machine of the Year finalist.
Will Posey’s passion began at a young age, attending rod runs and car shows with his father, Jimmy. In his teens, Will began bracket racing a ’67 Chevy Camaro and later attended McPherson College to study auto restoration. After working for Alan Johnson, another Goodguys Trendsetter recipient, Will and his father went on to open their own shop, named for the big oak tree that resides on the property.
