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.

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

Tonight, we have an unlikely roll out between a Honda and a Corvette. These two cars are about as different as daylight and dark. The Chevy is bone stock and the Honda has been modified in a serious manner. Buckle-up, this is gonna be a wild one.

A fun sports car, the S2000 was nothing to write home about when it came to performance. This guy yanked the factory motor and installed a stock single cam F22 Read More
