Nostalgic Garage We are bringing that era back to life.

At Nostalgic we are automotive enthusiast with a passion of bringing an era back when your car, truck, van or motorcycle said more about who you were rather than how much money you made.

Good morning and Merry Christmas Eve! The shop will be open by appointment only next week as this is one of 2 weeks a year we take to work on our own cars and portfolio cars. Follow progress next week. Already got started with a brake and steering upgrade for Luzy! Our 87 R10 shop truck is next.

Tis the season and in spirit of the holiday Nostalgic Garage has launched an online store. We are still in the process of getting it completed and all our products loaded but wanted to share with you before the holidays just in case you are looking for a last minute gift for your ride.
What might you find on our site? Due to the nature of most of our work being custom we order parts that just don't quite work. Also, we come across parts that clients are upgrading and they don't want the old parts back.
How can you find us? It's easy! There is a shop button on our page or you can go to the link below and save to your browser favorites. Ho Ho Ho and Happy Holidays!!!!

We were sad to see her go today but another happy client and one bad ass ride. LS SWAP on a 83 Olds Cutlass Hurst. Updated gauge cluster as well. Hope to see her next winter for a rear end and suspension upgrade!

Big news at the shop. Nostalgic Garage is now a dealer for Milodon!!!! We will probably start with making sure we have their low-profile pans on all LS motors that leave our shop. If you are a fan of Milodon products, make sure to hit us up as we will be stocking some of these products in our retail shop as well!!!

Good morning to all our Nostalgic Garage followers. We hope that everyone is ready for the holiday weekend!
You will see many posts from us over the next couple of months sharing results from the 2022 SEMA Show. This is one of our first. We are proud to announce that we are now a dealer for Granatelli Motorsports!!! They have some excellent billet dress-up pieces and a new technology in plug wires that is very impressive.
Check them out on the web at www.granatellimotorsports.com, and let us know if anything piques your interest.

Exciting news here at Nostalgic Garage!!! We are in the process of integrating a new shop software. What does this mean for you, the customer? Well, easier and better communication between you and the techs with updates and questions about your project. More detailed pricing lines and parts descriptions. And last but not least... a new option to finance your jobs with multiple tiers based on credit scores. Good credit can qualify for 12 months at 0% interest. This should all be in place no later than Jan 1. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Final day at SEMA and we were not let down at all. Met with 3 new suppliers that are going to be a vital part of our LS swaps and also had the opportunity to watch a burnout contest! All in all it was a long, exhausting trip but worth every second!

Finished up at SEMA a little early today and had to make a quick pit stop. Fun fact… the white with blue rally stripe GT500 is the original with less than 28k miles on it. Valued at approx 2.2 million. Oh… and I entered to win the red, white and blue GT500. When I win it I am driving it home from Vegas! No trailer for this guy!

***Nostalgic November Tech Tip***
For all you guys using Nitrous systems in your rides, it is essential to know that all your fittings need to be thread sealed. Most high-pressure applications for pneumatics use Teflon tape however, that is a big "no no" for your Nitrous system. If it flakes off it can gum up and clog your lines. Here at Nostalgic we use Permatex Thread Sealant. When applied to the threads of your fittings, it will look like Teflon tape however it does not flake off or gum up. It acts a lot like Loctite. Part# 59214. If you have any questions, please let us know and remember Nostalgic Garage is the only NOS refill station within 100 miles of Cincinnati.

Our client, Danielle, brought us this 79 Malibu earlier in the year. She bought a race car and wanted us to make it street legal. So we did that. Disc brake conversion kit with all new brake lines. New fuel tank and pump. New exhaust. Added seat belts, rear view mirror and side mirror. Added rear glass, added some gauges and hood pins. Tune up and oil change and she is ready to go!!! Can’t wait to see her back next fall for some suspension and rear end upgrades!!!! Enjoy the ride Danielle!

So… people have been asking about the progress of this LS Swap. Well here you go. Motor should be out no later than Monday and getting her ready to plant the new motor by end of next week.

Good morning to all you gearheads out there. This post will be a little lengthy but I thought I needed to do it anyway. So there have been some rumors floating around about our shop and I wanted to address one of them as I feel it deserves it. The reputation that we are slow is absolutely true and I take full responsibility for this. Even though I have been a business owner since 2010 I am new to the "job shop" and "retail" industry. Part availability from the Covid pandemic has been a challenge. I have made some mistakes along the way and have endured some growing pains. I have done a poor job at scheduling based on the scope of work we are doing. We are also under staffed for the amount of work I have scheduled. I also have a mandate in the shop of quality over quantity.
With that said, what am I doing to remedy this? Well, I am scheduling differently, allowing more time for specific jobs and scope of work. Working on adding to my team. We have a new tech that has started this week and I am courting another that has had years of experience with LS swaps and tuning. I am also holding my suppliers to higher standards and starting to stock more of the more used parts such as gaskets and seals so we do not have to wait on orders.
I want everyone to know that I am ALWAYS open to constructive criticism and want to be a business known for caring about my clients and my staff. If every there is advice on what we can do differently to make the client experience better I want to know and will do everything in my power to make it right. This business is my retirement plan so I plan on being around for another 30 years or so. Help me do that by communicating any issues and having a little grace in these beginning years as I learn how to administrate the business.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your ride hitting our shop soon!

As we continue to grow we are finding that we are one of few shops in the Tr-State that will handle LS Swaps. We are about 5 deep at the moment. If you are contemplating and LS swap on your ride check out all the kits and parts Holley has for your ride. Being a Holley dealer makes it easier to get these parts and work with engineers to make sure your ride comes out BETTER than expected!

Make sure to follow along to see how this turns out. She will be for sale when completed however you wi probably have to fight Braedan Loy for it.

Bitter sweet delivery yesterday. This was our shops first LS swap on a Jeep. 1983 Jeep CJ and went with a 6.0l LS. This thing is a beast. We will miss her but I am sure she will be back this winter for a few more upgrades!
