Classic Elegance Meets Modern Power: Restomod 1964 Jaguar Mark II 🐆🔥

Looks like a stock classic on the outside, but this sleeper Jag is packed with custom upgrades from front to back!

Key features on this build include:

• Custom Wheels & Brakes: 18-inch custom wire wheels with factory knockoffs built to clear 13-inch Baer Brakes.

• Sleek Exterior: Custom-fabricated tucked front valance/bumper replacing the bulky factory bumper.

• Upgraded Interior: Original factory wood grain preserved and paired with a custom console with cup holders. Plus, modern gauges, air conditioning, leather seats with high-density foam, and custom door storage compartments.

• Trunk Setup: Built-in custom bar setup perfect for your favorite scotch or wh***ey.

• Under the Hood: Disguised to look like a Jaguar engine with custom cat logo valve covers and intake, but powered by a reliable LT1 V8 producing over 500 HP at the crank!

What’s your favorite detail on this build—the trunk bar or the disguised 500 HP LT1?

Help us plan this build! 🚗👇

We’ve got a solid California 1953 Studebaker in the shop! It has the original bright red paint with a white top, and we’re getting ready to bring it back to life with some new body panels.

We need your input on two big choices:

1️⃣ Paint Scheme: Would you keep the original two-tone look with the white top, or go all-red with a bright Ferrari or Viper Red?

2️⃣ Powertrain: What engine would you drop under the hood? Big Block, Small Block, LS, or LT?

Upgrading your suspension, or switching to a high-performance chassis (like our Schwartz Performance G-Machine chassis) allows your car to pull anywhere from 1.2 to over 1.5 Gs in the corners.

The downside? Extreme lateral force sloshes oil to one side of the pan, leading to oil starvation and potential engine failure.

Here is how to protect your engine:

• Baffled Oil Pan: Helps keep oil contained near the pickup tube during hard cornering.

• Accusump System: A cost-effective safeguard that uses air pressure and a floating piston to feed oil into the engine the moment pressure drops.

• Dry Sump System: The ultimate solution for oil management, though retrofitting one can be costly, especially on non-standard or classic engines like a Pontiac.

What setup are you running on your build?
