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?

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.

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!
