1961 International Metro Delivery Van Modifications Photo Gallery
This is something you don't see every day... a 1961 International Harvester Metro A120 delivery van! Our friend is going to use it as a Bartolli's Pizza delivery vehicle in the city, so we are going to make it easier to drive and change the look to match his restaurant. It's a cool 220 cubic-inch 6 cylinder powered box now, but we'll see what develops. The plan calls for using a Chevrolet Tahoe for a donor chassis and driveline.

1967 Ford Mustang Body Restoration Photo Gallery
This 1967 Ford Mustang lived a full life, and eventually it was torn down for a restoration to repair rust and damage to the body. Unfortunaltely, the shop doing the work couldn't complete the task, so the car came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for completion. Our technicians inspected the car and after chatting with the owner, it was decided that much of the metalwork on the '67 could have been of a higher level of quality, so our team is working to bring the car to a higher level, as it's been in the owner's family since 1973!

1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Paint and Maintenance Updates at V8 Speed & Resto Shop
This 1966 Chevelle came to our shop to have some maintenance and a few cosmetic fixes. The distributor in the big block Chevy V8 had corroded, so we shipped it back to MSD Ignition for a freshen-up. There was some weirdness in the steering column, so we had it waranteed by Ididit to like-new operation again. We also made a new electric fuel pump mounting bracket and addressed some leaks and some new brakes.
Outside, the '66 rolled in with a 4" cowl induciton hood that made it a little hard to see the road, so our crew installed a steel 2" version for more style and less "race" appearance. The color is House Of Kolor TruBlue Kandy and it really looks sharp in the sun.
