1969 Chevy Camaro "Royal Sport"

We built the Royal Sport Camaro for Royal Purple Synthetic Oil from a rusted-out memory of a real 1969 Camaro. Today it sports a full chassis, all-new body panels, a TKO 500 5-speed, and a killer stance.

1969 Chevy Chevelle "SS496"

It started as an SS396 clone, and we're blowing the engine up a hundred cubes to a 496. Not that you'll notice, as we're keeping a street sleeper vibe under the hood. Pro-touring suspension and a stock restored look round it out.

1970 Pontiac Trans Am "Splitter"

Splitter is a dual-purpose road course / drag strip hero designed to dominate both worlds. Will it work? A big-inch Pontiac and trick suspension think so.

The V8TV Speed & Restoration Shop also installs high performance parts, suspension systems, exhaust systems, EFI conversions, engine swaps, and much more.

 1969 Camaro 383 Swap

In this short video series, we replaced a tired small block with a custom Fast Times engine, and made several other upgrades as well.  

1969 Camaro SS396 Top End, Suspension, Brake, & Exhaust Upgrades

This orange '69 drove pretty well, but the anemic 396 needed some help from an Edelbrock Top End Kit, and a MagnaFlow Exhaust kit. We also installed a Holley Carb, MSD Ignition, and some Baer brakes to make it stop!

1949 Chevrolet Pickup Truck

This old truck has hauled a lot of stuff over the years, but we've relieved it from farm duty. Now it's up for a complete re-body and high performance driveline and chassis.
