Royal Purple Synthetic Oil recently had a contest where the winners got to show their car off at the 2011 SEMA show, and this video features the first winner!   Joe Cherry built this 1958 Chevrolet "El Nomado," a car that GM never built… but perhaps should have!

We guessed that nearly every car at the SEMA show had some sort of Eastwood product either in the form of a coating on the car, a tool to build it, or a chemical to restore it.   Here, Matt Murray expands upon this concept at SEMA 2011.

This Jeep JK8 Conversion caught our eye not only because of the Red Jacket tie-in and tee shirt cannon in the bed, but for the level of fit, finish, and quality in the conversion parts manufactured by Venchurs V Werks.   The deep red and black color combo is subtle but aggressive, and the loads of capable off-road parts make this Jeep a blast to drive.

Be Cool Radiators was celebrating their Made In USA aluminum radiators, and we took a minute to ask them why an aluminum radiator is better than stock muscle car radiators.
