It has been a while since we had a Cobra in the shop. It was great to get our hands on this one for a corner balance and check of the suspension setups. Being the 68th car built by Shelby in Las Vegas it has all of the vintage parts you would want in your Cobra.
To clear the SN95 Mustang rear wheels attached to the new 9″ Ford rear end we added subtle flares and enlarged the rear wheel well. With four racing seats, a cage and harness bars for both rows the whole family can join in on the fun!
This Pontiac Trans Am came to us as a car that had hid a deer 30 years ago and then stored ever since. It has been a long rebuild but they could have never dreamed of a Trans Am like this back in 1971. Almost every part of the car has been vastly improved but the interior and exterior hide off the secret and maintain an original restored look.
These high-revving Ford Racing Boss 302 444 hp 32-valve DOHC crate engines deliver a ground-pounding 444 hp and 380 ft.-lbs. Before it goes into the Mustang Boss 302S the bearings must be changed to the tri-metal type to withstand the rigors of a serious workout.
Lotus released the second generation of the Lotus Seven in 1961 and it was such a hit that there have been many copies made over the years. This Birkin S3 is a modern interpretation of the Lotus Seven with a similar tube frame and a twin cam Ford engine.
This new Camaro Mustang Challenge build was just finished and is here for inspection and certification. The engine was making much more than the owner expected and the restrictor set wouldn’t bring it down to spec. After fashioning a custom restrictor this car is right on the mark and can be seen at NASA events very soon.
The guys are test fitting and measuring for the new rear axle to go with the four link we installed in the back of the Falcon race car project. With four racing seats this Falcon is ready for the ultimate family road trip.
Produced in Finland starting in 2011 the Fisker Karma has arguably been the best looking plug-in electric hybrid car for years. We had to drop the rear subframe on this one to fix a traction motor coolant leak. It will be getting several other upgrades in addition to needing one of the rear Nivomat, an automatic self contained load-leveling monotube damper, replaced.
Released in 1990 the Diablo was the first Lamborghini capable of attaining a top speed in excess of 200 miles per hour. This one needed some electrical and cosmetic sorting but is again ready for the street or show.
A couple years ago we pulled this 1969 Jaguar XKE out of a shed and after restoration and some time on our DynoJet this car runs like a dream.
Sometimes you need to take a break and bring something newer back to life. Both fuel pumps are froze on this one and it will soon be back on the street after a long sleep in long term storage.
Dual Weber IDF carburetors can be tough to tune and how would you know for sure that you have it just right? Using our wideband O2 sensor and Dynojet we can tune your jet sizes and make sure that your vehicle is running correctly at more than just idle.
Using the new Dynojet we can now tune carburetors in a quarter of the time and we have solid quantitative data to know that we have it right where it should be.
Our new Dynojet with Eddy Current Load Absorption Unit to perform loaded tests is up and running. We now have the ability to run the cars in a controlled environment at all speeds and loads to make sure the car is running optimally.
Finishing up the preparations on the new Ford Mustang Boss 302S for it’s debut at the Kansas Speedway this weekend. The Boss 302S is one of four full race cars you can order at the parts counter from Ford Racing. They do not have VIN numbers and are not street legal. The other three race cars you can order are the Ford Mustang Boss 302R, Ford Mustang Cobra Jet, and Fiesta B-Spec.
It is unusual to see a Studebaker 232 V8 crate motor like this one complete with transmission. This is the new power plant for our Studebaker Commander project.
Testing of the Porsche 914 at Mid America Motorplex this weekend is leading to total engine teardown this week.
A big crate arrived at the shop today containing the 572ci V8 for 1970 Chevelle project.
The 283ci V8 for the Bel Air looks great painted to match the car.
If it has wheels and an engine we will fix it for you.
