"The Next Victim"

We were approached by our new buddy Steve S. about building an awesome '57 Chrysler Saratoga ala GTO-R, but without the cage. So a stroked, all aluminum 413 Sonoramic Commando is in order. Stay tuned.

The "Sole Shaker"

Our favorite Doctor, Dr. Bill (who also owns the Black Pearl 1955 F100) has decided to dip into our insanity again. This time with a wild 1956 Chevy Stepside deemed "Sole Shaker". Running a stroked, blown, and Hilborn Injected 394 Olds Rocket, it should shake the strip to the point you'll feel it in the soles of your feet!! Enjoy.

A "Lethal Injection" for Jim Preibe


Jim Preibe wanted something different to drive around in in his gated community in Dallas. Something of a departure from the Ferrari's and Porsche's of his neighbors. We said, "we can help you with that." Nothing says different like a stroked and injected 427 SOHC motor. Enjoy.
