Old school meets new school! 🏎️💨

We are keeping the classic soul of this ‘56 Plymouth alive by maintaining its iconic push-button transmission setup. While we are upgrading to a modern GM 4L75E transmission, we’ve figured out how to keep it controlled by the original factory buttons on the left side of the column.

It’s all about preserving that vintage Mopar feel while packing modern performance under the hood.

Out with the old, in with the boost! 🏎️💨

We are taking this ‘32 Ford Phaeton to the next level by swapping in an EcoBoost four-cylinder engine.

To keep things safe with that front-mounted turbo, we just ripped out the original wood floor to make way for a custom-fabricated metal one.

Metal over wood—safety first when you’re adding this much power! 🛠️🔥

Check out this 1956 Plymouth Fury getting the ultimate performance upgrade!

We are taking this classic beauty and giving it a modern soul while keeping its iconic look.

Here is what is happening under the hood and beneath the body:

• Modern Power: We are performing a Hemi and automatic transmission conversion.

• Built for Performance: This Fury is getting a Schwartz G-Machine chassis, the signature of our shop.

• Elite Stopping Power: Equipped with 14-inch Baer six-piston brakes for modern stopping safety.

• Preserving the Vibe: Since the car was restored years ago, we are keeping the existing paint and all the unique stock details like the textured side trim and checkered flag emblem.

• Retro Controls: We are even aiming to maintain the original push-button automatic transmission controls to work with the new setup!

The end result? A 500-horsepower daily driver that looks like a vintage dream but handles like a modern machine.

Step into the space age with the 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire 🚀

From its spacecraft-inspired design to its high-end finishes, this car was built for style.

Check out these unique features:

• Space-Age Lights: Tail lights and grill features with a “Flash Gordon” star pattern.

• Sleek Glass: A rare concave rear window, similar to the Grand Prix Pontiac.

• Innovative Hardware: A vertical-flipping gas door on top of the fender and die-cast rocker molding that runs the length of the car.

• Performance Detail: Functional fender vents to release hood pressure.

• Fender Mirrors: Long before they were a JDM staple, Oldsmobile was mounting mirrors on the front fenders in ’64.

We just received this 392 S**t Pack crate engine from Mopar Performance!

While these are factory-rated in the high 400s, adding a cold air
intake and a free-flowing exhaust easily pushes them over 500
horsepower in our builds.

The best part? This Hemi is destined for a 1956 Plymouth Fury that
recently arrived at the shop!

Stay tuned to see this classic get a massive power upgrade. 🛠️🔥

Air Ride vs. Coilovers: Which setup are you choosing for your Tri-Five? 🚗💨

We get this question all the time! Here is the breakdown of why we typically recommend a coilover setup for our G-Machine chassis:

Ride Quality & Handling: Our standard builds use RideTech coilover shocks, providing incredible handling and ride quality right out of
the gate.

Reliability: Coilovers offer a “set it and forget it” simplicity. You avoid the complexity of solenoids and air connections that come with potential failure points in air systems.

Stance: Even at standard ride height, these chassis sit low and look aggressive. You can still manually adjust them higher if needed.

The Air Ride Advantage:

If you want to “lay it on the ground” at a car show or adjust your height on the fly, we offer Shockwaves as an optional upgrade.

At the end of the day, it’s your choice—but for a daily driver with maximum reliability, we’re team coilover every time.

We just got these white Rotiform wheels mounted with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires (285/40R18) and the fit is perfect.

Did you know that the second-gen Firebird actually has much larger wheel wells than the second-gen Camaro?

Because of that extra space, we needed a taller tire to fill it out properly.

These 40-series sidewalls give it that beefy look while staying close to the original Trans Am stock diameter.

Now that these are mounted, we’re ready to start on the fender flares to mimic the iconic BFG Tire Bird look!

What do you think of the white-on-white combo? 👇

Fresh from California, this ‘64 Oldsmobile Starfire is about to undergo a massive transformation!

This rust-free, straight-bodied classic is moving on from its “father’s Oldsmobile” roots to become something truly wild.

We are giving this piece of GM history a serious performance upgrade

• Chassis: Schwartz G-Machine
• Power: A custom twin-turbocharged engine

Oldsmobile may have been the oldest manufacturer when General Motors shut them down, but we are keeping the legacy alive with this build.

Stay tuned for more updates on this twin-turbo monster!
