1960 Ford F-100

A four-month winter build. Boxed frame, Mustang II front clip, crate 350, Wilwood discs, and a 6-inch drop. The customer's been driving it for over two years.

1964 Chevy II — Race to Street

Converted from a dedicated race car to a serious street machine with a 468ci big block.

A serious street/strip build. Dart-block 427ci Ford small block, Tremec TKX 5-speed, and a modified roll cage for street drivability.

Sat untouched for 30 years. We brought it back to life with a full mechanical restoration, and it's been back on the road ever since.

1967 Dodge Dart — Project Rescue

An abandoned project rescued from Alberta. We sorted it out, painted it flat black with signature stripes, and it found a new home fast.

1972 C10 — 408ci Stroker

A clean driver built for a repeat customer. 6.0L stroked to 408ci with Holley Terminator EFI and tasteful modern upgrades throughout.
