This beast is running. I hadnt posted updates on it, but it is together and now proudly tows our vintage campers to Rallys. Shes loud and proud with that 12v Cummins, but "Rached" is alive!

This was another full build on a 65 El Camino with an LS 5.3 engine, 4l60e automatic overdrive, air conditioning (which was recently upgraded again to Vintage Air), tubular front A-arms and coil over suspension, hydroboost with 4 wheel disk brakes, and new fuel system. Im sure im missing some things, but this one is still a fun work in progress. I hear it'll be off to interior and paint soon. Until then, its still an awesome driver.

Adding an auxiliary fuel tank to this 2014 Tundra for my buddy John Olson. Hoping to see him run the Baja 1000 without stopping one of these days haha.

Heres another LS 5.3 swap that went in my friend Grant Fletchers buggy. This was a fun project that i wish I had taken more pictures of. Nothing like removing old tech and dropping in new with over double the horsepower of before. This previously VW powered carbureted beast of a buggy now scoots along with the ease of fuel injection and benefit of water cooling in summer heat.

It has been a while to post new builds, but that doesnt mean i havent been busy. Heres a 1939 Chevy pickup i installed all new drive train in for an old friend. Now an LS 5.3 powered fuel injected engine with an automatic overdrive transmission. Also equiped with air conditioning, and new rear axle for modern comfort and convenience while at the same time not taking from its stunning original outside appearance. Thank you Jeff Cullen for trusting me with this build.

TISS THE SEASON FOR AIR CONDITIONING! A common misconception when it comes to your vehicles AC is that "more freon is better". This is not true. If you are tempted to buy one of those "do it yourself" cans from an autoparts store, please understand that if you overcharge your AC system it will shut itself off and give you worse results. The best option is to bring it to your trusted mechanic who can see where your pressures are and what other issues may be happening with your vehicles AC.

Long overdue, but here is an update on the 47 Ford project. I dont have the most recent, but will send a video of it driving soon.

Out with the old, in with the new for this Mazda 3.

Upgraded brakes for this 70 mustang. You need all the stopping power you can get for this big 351C
