The Gassers are quite simply one of the earliest modified cars which held a categorized class at drag racing events. These cars ranged from daily driven cars to drag race only cars supercharger equipped. The original gasser body styles selected became popular on the race track simply due to their availability or inversely for their unpopularity at Saturday night cruise events or as a household fam

One serious street brawler in the works 😎 Scott brought us his 69 Camaro and we are helping to get it back on the road with a wicked Skip White Performance & Automotive small block. Feeding that powerplant is a complete Holley Sniper EFI system.
We’ve done other upgrades so far as well, including a full engine bay detail, complete rewrite with American Autowire harness for a dependable electrical system, and Wilwood Disc Brakes brakes to help bring this ride to a halt when needed. And even more to come for this sweet Chevy!

One sweet ElCamino back on the streets 😎 This thing is a very nice survivor, but the engine bay wasn’t much to look at. We pulled the drivetrain and detailed the engine bay. Then the big block and 4spd were rebuilt and reinstalled with a few upgrades that the customer wanted, such as an Edelbrock Performance intake, COMP Cams cam, and Sanderson Headers long tube headers. Then some Moroso Performance Products, Inc. pieces to dress it up. Plus a new exhaust with some Flowmaster Mufflers INC. mufflers courtesy of a local muffler shop.
Randy’s 66 Chevelle Restomod. A build a decade in the making, this is one cool cruiser built to handle anything from a track day to a cross-country road trip 😎
Underhood is a Chevrolet Performance LS3 making 525hp backed by a 4L70 transmission. A set of CVF Racing coil pack covers were utilized to clean up the underhood look. A radiator from Be Cool, Inc. was chosen to keep that powerplant cool. And this ride makes its presence known with an exhaust kit from Magnaflow and electric cut-outs from Quick Time Performance.
Underneath, this ride sits on Classic Performance Products, Inc suspension with QA1 coil overs. A steering rack comes courtesy of Flaming River Industries and Wilwood Disc Brakes provide the stopping power.
Inside features lots of pieces from TMI Products, along with some custom features like the one-piece dash and custom center console with a later style staple shifter. Other cool features include the Retro Manufacturing radio, Vintage Air, Inc. air conditioning, plus Dakota Digital gauges, climate control, and cruise control!
When it came time for paint, House of Kolor Candy Apple Red was chosen, and it definitely gives this car some pop! American Racing wheels give this car the right amount of attitude, along with things like the smoked glass and Ringbrothers hood hinges.
Lots of other great parts went into this build, like the American Autowire harness and various Lokar pieces throughout the car. Plus maybe other parts from companies such as National Parts Depot, Classic Industries, SS396.com and more!

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…
Actually it is a bird! A Ford Thunderbird to be exact. This unique ride belongs to Tom Sr., who has had the car for quite some time. We installed the 49-51 Ford kit from www.easyrods.com then bodyworked and painted it, along with fabricating a custom grille.
This is sure one ride that will turn some heads at the cruise-ins and car shows 😎

Another Detroit Autorama has come and gone. As always, it was a great show! Both of these Chevys (and the Willys from years ago) received some great attention, and we even brought home some hardware to go along with it.
Thanks to our crew and our great customers who make it possible for us to continue doing this every day!
