Default Interesting new projects

Hey guys!

Been a member for awhile and just wanted to share a couple interesting projects we have recently gotten into my shop. One of them being lsx based and the others just being awesome domestic projects that everyone will hopefully appreciate! Feel free to also message me with any questions or inquiries you may have

-1961 Lincon Continental (LSX)

The lincoln will be getting full Accuair Air Ride suspension as well as we are going to be putting some form of a 6.0 or 6.2 lsx engine into it, most likely with a 4l80e transmission. Once done we will be redoing the chassis wiring and convertible top gears and some other changes. This one with the lsx will be quite a custom project and we have a few ideas we are going to do to really set this car off, especially under the hood


-1969 Camaro

Body is a reproduction body from Dynacorn. Edelbrock / Pat Musi 555ci big block chevy w/ fuel injection connected to a tko600 transmission. Complete Detroit Speed Engineering front subframe, rear 4 link kit, mini tubs, coilovers, etc. Plan is to build a full pro touring car out of it including custom interior, big brakes, etc etc.


-1948 Divco Milk Truck

It took the new owner 3 years to find the truck in the fields of Kentucky (bullet holes and all). He has said his intention is to keep a lot of the patina, but turn it into a modern food truck with wood fire pizza ovens most likely. What he had to have was a Cummins 12v under the hood though so what we are doing is we are going to take the body off the 1948 chassis, and swap it onto a 1st gen Dodge 12v chassis. This will give him the benefit of a stronger chassis, mechanical 12v engine, overdrive transmission, power brakes, power steering, etc.
