The Hellcat headers are a tight squeeze in the engine compartment given the nearly 600 CI motor and thus, extremely difficult to fabricate inside the car. Ken–our Hellcat extraordinaire–recently created a header jig to allow for subsequent headers to be built outside of the car. This model was built using an existing header that was custom fitted inside of a Hellcat as a template. The dips and turns of this header were precisely measured to determine the set up for the jig.

Wiring…..Human vs Bird
If you’re into old cars, you’ve probably seen this a thousand times –it’s a seemingly beautiful restoration with a wiring job that looks like is was done by birds. The nest has probably been built under your dash, and even the thought of working on it probably makes you slightly ill.
When we’re constructing a custom car, its important to be neat and methodical – not only for appearance sake and our own sanity, but also for the next guy that has to go in a make a repair.
One of our very talented techs likes to think of his wiring as a “river flowing into small tributaries.” He may have watched “A River Runs Through It” too many times in the 90′s, or he may be on to something. …

1969 Camaro L89 Pro Touring conversion
We’re down to the nitty gritty on this awesome 1969 Camaro build. We were able to preserve the original look of the car while tastefully upgrading the suspension and brakes with all of the top the line Detroit Speed and Baer Brakes products. Thanks to both companies for being such great suppliers both in terms of parts but also customer support!
The drive quality and handling are absolutely amazing. The six piston brakes come on like a brick wall on a foggy night. Crushing! She drives like a brand new sports car with classic body lines and styling. Best of both worlds!
