"Street Customs 2" Ep. 12 - Stallone's '55 Ford
Sylvester Stallone's upcoming movie, "The Expendables," pays homage to the big action flicks of the 1980s and `90s, and will even include our own California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in a cameo role. The film is set to feature a 1955 Ford F100 truck, which had to be fully restored for silver screen worthiness.
The customization experts at West Coast Customs would be the ones handling the restoration efforts. After calling upon WyoTech students Owen Lubenow, Rusty McClintock, and Matt Myers for assistance, the crew at WCC was able to churn out three fully restored 1955 Ford F100s: two for the movie itself and one for Stallone to keep. The ground-up restorations included metal fabrication work and the installation of a 347-cubic-inch Ford small block from ATK Engines, which reportedly put out 429 horsepower and 411 pound-feet of torque when fitted with an Edelbrock Total Power Package.
"The Expendables," written and directed by Stallone, features a full billing of all-star action actors, including Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and more. The movie will be released on April 23, 2010.

2010 West Coast Custom of the Year 56 Chevy Mod Video
http://geturswurve.com At times custom cars can be gaudy and not well executed. That's not the case with the 2010 West Coast Custom Car of the year 56 Chevy. The stretched out custom was a star at Barrett Jackson collector car auction recently.
SLR McLaren Roadster modified by Platinum Motorsports
Like me on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/jtphotos2
Here is a short clip showing the SLR McLaren Roadster owned by the owner of Platinum Motorsports in Hollywood, California. When Jack bought the car he wanted it to be unique so right away they developed a body kit for the car which includes all sorts of carbon fiber bits, They installed a new front lip, rear diffuser, a bigger lip for the wing and air brake, and carbon fiber vents. To give the car a better stance they put on a set of rims and lowered the car. It looks absolutely insane in person!

Overhaulin my sons 1992 VW Golf
When my son was deployed with NMCB-1 "Seabees" from May 2011 to February 2012 he left his car with me. I did a little more work on it than he was expecting. Rebuild the complete car for him when he returned. Its was a fun project to do for him. Thanks to all that helped and the online help from Pelican Parts, VW Vortex and MIVE!
