59 W. Factory Road
Addison, Illinois
630-458-0808

From WEST : Take 355 to North Ave, exit East. When you get to Addison Road (look for the Portillo's on the right), watch for the rail road tracks, then turn left (North). At the first light (Factory Road) turn left (west). We're the 3rd building on the left.

The Violent Valiant is back from Redi-Strip!

Click HERE to check out the latest installment from BangShift.com on the Violent Valiant project. Our mild mannered little econobox spends some time with a stripper… Redi-Strip! Check it out…

Going to SEMA? Stop by the Stewart Warner booth 22317 (at the bottom of the ramp by the Ford Booth) check it out in person. Be sure to say Hi and tell us you saw this on Facebook. Photo by our good friend Robert McGaffin of McGaffin Digital Photography

Hot Rod Magazine wants to know what you think of OVERKILL. Naturally with the stellar photos by McGaffin Digital Photography of the Kosmic Outcast... we LOVE it! :)

Our buddies at BANGshift have posted up another update on the HRCC Violent Valiant. In this installment, you get to meet our rather nice victi, uh, donar car. Check it out!

Rocket is making mad progress on Dougs '55. A set of ladder bars was just the fix for all the wheel hop and axle wrap. And the new HRCC 9" will take whatever we throw at it. We should have it a roller next week.

With all the updates we scheduled with Robert McGaffin on his PHR Project Olds '65 Olds 4-4-2, I kept looking the stock dash. And thinking how awful the stock "sweeper" speedo was. And then there was the gauge panel installed beneath the dash with the "missing" gauges that Detroit often left out of a dash in favor or idiot lights. I think this looks much better, don't you?

So, Peter A. rang up the shop and said to me, "hey, I've got this '58 Bel Air that someone cut the roof off of. And I'd like something a bit different. You'll never guess what we have planned for this unsuspecting maligned '58. But it involves a stellar body mod, and "hauling the mail."

Doug's '55 Chevy is in the shop to receive a TKO600 and Quartermax Ladder bars with our 9" with Moser Engineering Guts. He was experiencing wheel hop and bad axle wrap with stock leaf springs, and we're going to fix that.

So you thought you seen everything? No. You haven't. HRCC is proud to announce (although a bit remiss) Project Violent Valiant!! A Plymouth Valiant is not exactly top of mind when tasked with building a kick ass race car. At a typical GoodGuys Autocross event, it’s tough to get noticed in a field dominated by Camaro’s, Nova’s and Chevelle’s running LS based motors. The Violent Valiant will hopefully help inspire the non-GM crowd to participate, and perhaps even think outside the box. We thought that the Valiant would be perfect because it is a small, light car and these A-body Mopars are almost built from the factory to be race cars. There’s not going to be much factory stuff left when we are done, but it is a great starting platform. Violent will feature Max Wedge based power with a Hilborn Fuel Injection backed by a Tremec T-56. Like our Raybestos 1964 GTO-R Giveaway Car, the Valiant will get a purpose built HRCC chassis in the style of vintage Trans Am racers with a healthy dose of modern technology. Look for the Violent Valiant at an Autocross or Road Racing event near you in 2014. WHY BUILD A ‘64 VALIANT? FOLLOW THE BUILD EXCLUSIVELY ON: BANGshift!

Everyone likes a nice rear end. We built one of our special "Double Live Gonzo" rear ends for Jim Priebe. Earth grabbing traction should result when Jim stabs the throttle and gives the rear tires a healthy dose of Lethal Injection.

Just in case you've missed it, The Kosmic Outcast made the cover of the current issue of Traditional Rod & Kustom. We were pretty stoked to receive this honor. Master photographer Tim Perroud shot the awesome photos, and Brandon Flannery told the store in graphic detail. Stop in the shop and pick up a copy, or run over to your favorite news stand.

This '36 Ford Sedan Delivery looks pretty decent from this angle. But looks can be deceiving. With only 11,652 produced, it's definitely worth saving, wouldn't you say?

Out in California and going to the Ink n Iron show? Stop by the Motorama Dome, and check out the Kosmic Outcast in person!

This weekend (June 7-8-9) is the Hunnert Car Heads Up at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove Wisconsin. It's the 5th year of great vintage 1965 and older drag racing! Here's the Raybestos GTO-R at the Heads Up in 2011 piloted by Clay Milican!

Who says money can't buy happiness? Especially if the Raybestos Brand GTO-R takes up residence in your garage! As Canada is not terribly friendly to street driven race car owners, the prize winners have decided to sell the car to someone who hopefully will love it as much as they have. Click here to see the ad with price and details...

Warm weather is finally here, and everyone is itching to get their car out in the midwest. Now is a good time time to think about upgrades or tune ups on your pride and joy. Brake swaps and maintenance, carb swaps, alignment issues, wiring issues, etc. Just call the shop to make an appointment and be ready to enjoy your car for your local first cruise night!

How about some Rocket Pods from the Kosmic Outcast for this fine first day of May?

BEHOLD! The Kosmic Outcast is unleashed!
