Imagine that you are out tooling around the countryside (in your favorite hot rod) on a sunny spring afternoon. You roll up on a rusty 1971 Chevrolet C10 and notice that he has loud exhaust. Before you can say, let’s race, this old farm truck stomps the gas and leaves you sitting in a puddle of your own shaving cream. That would be Lance Smith in his 1999 Craftsman Series NASCAR Race Truck – disguised as a ’71 C10. Gotcha! Lance calls them “racerods”. He takes a raggedy old hull of a car (or truck) and sets it on a Read More

Greetings gearheads, speed freaks and auto enthusiasts of every ilk. Allow me to introduce Robert and his labor of love. You see, Robert took over this 1965 Ford Mustang project after his beloved brother-in-law passed away. His goal was to complete the build and return the finished product to his sister in remembrance of her fallen husband. He grabbed the Mustang (in many pieces) and took it coast-to-coast from California to McQueens Hot Rod Shop in South Carolina. Robert rolled up his sleeves and helped his friends at McQueens to assemble the restomod you see here. Now, he has returned Read More

You gotta love when a long-term build comes together this sweet. Especially when it combines a tiny import roadster with a massive domestic powerplant. The project is 10-years in the making and it just don’t get no better than this. At first glance, you’re probably wondering, “what the heck is that?”. The sheetmetal is mostly a Honda S2000. The majority of the widebody components are custom tailored aftermarket parts skillfully modified by the professionals at Industry Garage. Front and rear chassis modules are custom fabricated. Steering is a close ratio manual rack-and-pinion from a Mustang. Total weight is 3,201-pounds with Read More

This car has the best of both worlds. It combines the nostalgia and charm of an original muscle car with the reliability and performance of a modern powertrain. The final result is nothing less than sublime. Although car owner Marshall owes most of the credit for this build to Salvaggio Auto Design, he started with a couple of talented designers; Gary Ragle on the exterior and Sean Smith on the interior. The car is a two-owner 1971 Plymouth Barracuda with most of the original sheet metal intact. Subtle enhancements include flush mounted glass and those amazing carbon fiber grille/headlight inserts.

Darkness has 3-inch exhaust with Borla mufflers. The combination is rated at 750hp Read More
