Kevin Apple's 1969 Camaro RS The only original metal in the car is the roof and floor. Extensive sheet metal and fab went into this Camaro and it turned out beautiful.

Score/Baja Desert Racer We just painted this one and did the graphics. 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Nicknamed "The Beast" this car made 400 hp to the rear wheels and when completed by was the nicest 944 on the planet, yeah it's that nice!

It started as a bare hull and was transformed into a stunning boat with new everything. Motors are 2.4 Bridgeport two strokes. Heath Elmer's 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo After owning three 944 Turbo's I moved up to a 930. This car was the fastest car I've ever driven. It weighed 2500 lbs and made 500 hp.

Wheels are 18" Simmons, Toyo tires, Global West supension Dead Buick Three months after completing this car it was dead.

Chucks car was stripped, mounted on one of our rotissories and worked over for hundreds of hours and it shows. Power comes from a 347/TKO and a Currie 9".

Project Talladega When Popular Hot Rodding Magazine called us about another project we jumped at another chance to help out.
