1969 Chevelle

Congrats to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop crew and to car owner Al on scoring 994 / 1000 points and winning a Street Modified Gold award at the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals! The crew did a fantastic job on the 1969 Chevelle!

 
 
 

1965 Impala Painted Red

The 1965 Chevy Impala project is progressing, and it just came out of the paint booth after being bathed in several coats of BASF Galsurit red and 5335 Glamour Clear.    The car has come a long way since arriving at the shop!     You can see all the build photos of this car HERE!

 

 

Chevrolet LS9 Supercharged V8 Engine

If you're interested in a Chevrolet LS9 638 HP 6.2 V8 crate engine, (19244099 ) GM is offering a $2,000.00 Visa gift card as an incentive.    This is the same V8 found in the ZR1 Corvette.

Our crew fabricated this transmission tunnel for the 1964 Chevy C10 pickup truck being built in the V8 Speed & Resto Shop because the original just wasn't big enough to go around the new overdrive transmission, and the original floor was full of holes.    We're making new parts like this all the time, it's a shame it will be under carpeting when the truck is finished!

Would YOU take your 1969 Camaro Skiing?   Check this one out and many more posted by our friend "Chrysler65" in the V8TV Forum!

Let's kick off the week with some exciting Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals news. It may seem like November is a long way off, and in a way it is, but if you own one of the MCACN Official "Unveiling" cars, the clock is ticking! We have confirmed several very significant cars for Unveilings, and here is one that is currently undergoing a full restoration. This black on black 1969 Boss 429, ‪#‎KK1365‬ is going to be an absolute show stopper. Owner Tom Marcucci does not cut any corners and he spent several years looking for the right Boss '9. This one has the original drivetrain, making it one rare pony. I took these pics at the Dearborn Mustang meet this summer, where Tom showed it pre-restoration. Whew...can't wait to see the cover pulled off this one at MCAN, November 21-22! Is there anything cooler and more sinister than a black Boss '9?
