Hot Rod TV Shoot, Day 1, Part 1

Here are some pics from the first day of shooting for Hot Rod TV. Dennis the producer, and his crew were great to work with. They'll be back in April to film the final assembly. Having watched this show from their very first episode, it's crazy to think that we will be on it!

Here are pics of Kevin discussing the chassis, Josh Russell from Raybestos (a TV PRO after last year) getting interviewed, Chad's interview, the Hilborn injector stacks (is it a Road Racer or a Vintage Drag Car?!) and filming the Raybestos Nascar spec brakes on the Kobalt Toolbox.

The Nascar spec brakes are HUGE!, Kevin discussing the GM Performance Parts LSX 454, the Milodon oil pan, the Hurst shifter and the Tremec T-56, and Kevin's interview.
