 We've seen shaved door handles, drip rails, trim... but lettering off
tires? Pretty smooth. This cool little 1966 Chevy II has a great
stance, and the owner took the time to shave the lettering off the tires
by hand! Cool trick, slick car!

 Finish Line Performance (www.FLP2WIN.com) has teamed up with Nickey Chicago to continue the performance legend of the Nickey Muscle Cars. This Nickey Stage 3 car features a twin turbocharged LS3 engine making 600 horsepower and 600 foot-pounds of torque at the wheels, all while keeping great drivability and road manners. However, this car is soon to be upgraded to a 1300 horsepower 427, an option on the Stage 3 cars!

 Larry Callahan runs the website Pro-Touring.com , and his own twin turbocharged 1968 Camaro is a textbook example of the kinds of cars the website is built around. The "MotiV8r" Camaro features every pro-touring trick in the book, and was built by Prodigy Customs to run as good as it looks. Video from the 2009 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational DVD .

 Amir Rosenbaum brought the Speed By Spectre 1970 El Camino to the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational event in Pahrump, NV, where we took a quick look at the car. It's a super-slick road and track machine, powered by a dry-sumped LS7 V8 that's been set back and dropped low in the chassis and backed by a T56 6-speed manual trans. We like the fact that Rosenbaum isn't afraid to push it to the limits on the track!

 Back in 1967, Felix Lopez bought a 1967 Chevrolet RS/SS Camaro from Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago, featuring a high-performance 427 with a 4-speed and 3 2-barrel carbs. Amazingly, he still owns and shows the car today. What's perhaps more amazing is that Lopez served an 8-year tour in the Viet Nam War, making him and his Nickey Camaro great examples of what we call "Survivors." Shot at the 2010 Chicago World Of Wheels / Chevy Vettefest show.

 The Roadster Shop builds some killer cars, and they were recently out beating up one of their most amazing creations, the RSC1 Corvette. Starting life as a 1962 Corvette, the Roadster Shop crew transformed every piece of this car into a slick high-tech version of the timeless C1 Corvette. Starting with a complete new RS Performance chassis, they added a GM LS7 engine, Kinsler EFI, giant brakes, and all the right parts to make it stop, go, and turn. Then they reworked every panel on the car, added a custom interior, and started winning awards. We think the best part is that this car gets driven hard on road course and autocross tracks. This interview was shot at the 2009 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational, and is part of an upcoming DVD of the event.

 Charley Lillard brought his 1970 Chevrolet Camaro "garage find" to the first annual Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals show in Rosemont, Il. Our buddy Shafi Keisler caught up with Charley to learn the story of this legitimate 1130 mile all-original car. Lillard obtained the car from the original owner who parked it after it got dinged one day, and it sat in a heated garage for nearly 40 years. Would you believe original air in the tires? Check out Charley's website for more on this incredible car!

It features a new GM LSA supercharged engine, TCI 4L80E transmission, Detroit Speed suspension, and about a million other cool parts.

 This slick 1967 Buick Wagon was built as a showcase for the talents of Greg Peterson and the crew at Extreme Powder Coating to show the diversity of today's high-tech powder finishes. We liked it 'cause it's a super cool cruiser, with Buick power, AirRide suspension, and a very unique look.

 Here's a 2 part story starring a red 1969 Camaro that was far too slow for it's good looks. We had the opportunity to do a performance makeover on this sweet looking car, and the star of the show is a Fast Times Motorworks built 383. The new mill features a Scat 3.750 stroker steel crank, Scat I-beam 6 inch rods, and SRP pistons combining for a 10.0:1 compression ratio for street drivability. The Comp Cams hydraullic roller camshaft works its magic under a set of polished Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads and Crane roller rocker arms. A polished Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake and a polished Weiand Action Plus water pump add sparkle and power, and a new Holley Street Avenger Aluminum 670 CFM carb mixes the fuel. Spark is handled by an MSD Digital E-Curve distributor, teaming up with the MSD Blaster 2 coil and Superconductor plug wires. Hooker Competition headers wearing a new Darksides black ceramic coating exhaust the gasses, and we installed a new TCI Saturday Night Special torque converter to raise the stall RPM so this beast launches in its powerband. This combo spun the Fast Times Dyno to the tune of 440 ft. lbs. at 4300 RPM and 446 horsepower at 6000 RPM. Click "Read More" for videos!

 The crew at Time Machines just finished the latest in the Mr. Norm's Legends series - the 2010 'Cuda! Mr. Norm's Garage has added all the classic styling cues... the 'Cuda tail lights, finder gills, custom wheels, pistol grip shifter, billboard stripes and more to make these new versions worthy of the name. Oh yeah, don't forget the supercharged 6.1 Hemi under the hood!

 We spied this super-clean 1969 Dodge Charger 500 at the Car Craft Magazine Summer Nationals in Minneapolis, MN. Upon closer inspection, we learned that this car features a 525 HP EFI Mopar HEMI, full Air Ride suspension, and a trick custom interior from a 2004 Chrysler 300. But perhaps the best part of this build is that it the owner, Pat Fletcher, built the car in his garage with his own two hands! Watch the video for all the details. We'll be posting more videos from this great event over the next week.

 Would you believe this beat-up lookin' 1940 Ford truck is actually riding on a high-tech frame and Mustang II suspension system and is a capable autocross performer? All the cool add-ons attracted our attention, like the rat-trap pedals, the horseshoe-mounted rifle, and the drive-in speakers, but we later learned that this rusto-rod is hiding a completely updated chassis and driveline. Check out the video of this very cool and creative old truck.

 The 2010 Chevy Camaro finally reaches showrooms across America, and the demand for the new musclecar has been high! We've spotted them on the streets, and really like the look. It's one of those car designs that's best appreciated in person. News reports are currently saying that GM is adding shifts and keeping plants open longer to accomodate for the large demand for new Camaros, which is great news for the Chevrolet brand.

 Team D'Agostino / Scavo brough out the twin-turbo Camaro to a testing session recently in Bowling Green, KY. The goal was to work out some electrical issues they were fighting at the end of last year's racing season, and the team is making some serious progress. In this short video, the car makes a 1000-foot pass at around 7 seconds. Be sure to check out the hula doll in the rear window, and it's fun to watch the tower dissappear out the rear window... these things can get a little squirly! The Camaro has since gone 6.92 at over 208 in the quarter... still in testing. Watch the hula doll!
