She didn’t come back for more attitude. Roxane already had plenty of that. 😏🔥

This round was about refinement… making 640 horsepower a little more road-friendly without taking away any of what makes her HER.

Finishing touches done. One last look. Time to head home.

✨🚗 Nothing like a little vintage flair on Main Street! Spotted this gorgeous Victress with a cherry-red interior and gauges that look straight out of a time capsule. The details—from the classic wood steering wheel to that crocodile-textured seat—are pure art on wheels.

Cruise nights aren’t just about cars… they’re about stories, history, and a little bit of rolling nostalgia. 🏁❤️

Who else could see themselves behind this wheel, wind in your hair, radio up, and the whole street watching you roll by?

1946 has never looked this disrespectful. 😮‍💨🔥
This Dodge is packing a whole lot more than good looks.

Hundreds of classic rides, hot rods, and custom builds completely packed Elm Street today for the 25th Annual Cruising Downtown! 🚗💨

Huge crowds showed up for a milestone year filled with live music, local food, and incredible cars. Best of all? Every dollar raised by the Manchester Rotary Club goes directly to local children's charities and supporting leukemia and stem cell donation awareness.

Love seeing the community come together for a great cause! ❤️✨

Some builds just stamp themselves into the timeline and bring back some damn good memories. This is one of them. 🔥

Mike’s ‘35 Ford Tudor Sedan stopped back by the shop yesterday — looking just as good as we remembered — and immediately brought us back to circa 2017.

We had this car in the shop in bare steel while building the frame, floors, firewall and complete interior when Chip Foose decided to stop by AK. 🤘🏼

Underneath it all is a Golen Engines-built 351W, bored and stroked to make around 500 horsepower, backed by a 4R70W transmission, RideTech 4-link rear suspension, Ford 9-inch rear end, Mustang II front suspension, coilovers on all four corners and Wilwood disc brakes — plus power windows, power locks and air conditioning.

Chip got a look at the car mid-build, checked out what we were working on and, according to Keith, thought it was pretty damn cool.

Nine years later, seeing the finished car sitting back out front makes those old shop photos feel pretty damn special.

From bare steel to this. 😮‍💨🔥
Yeah… this one will always be one of Keith’s favorites.

There’s blue… and then there’s Maliblu. 💙🔥

Mercedes Capri Blue.
Custom pearl + flake.
Five coats of clear.
Cut. Polished. Finished.

This ’64 Chevelle came in for the AK treatment and left wearing a finish that changes with every angle. 😮‍💨

The custom Maliblu script by Scott McKay was the perfect final touch.

One hell of a way to send this one home. 🔥

It’s 1946… with ALL the bells and whistles of 2026. 😂🔥

There’s a whole lot happening behind the scenes on this ’46 Dodge as we work through wiring and bringing all of its modern features to life:

Power windows.
Power locks.
Power seats.
Air ride.
Retractable running boards.
Custom controls.
High-end audio with a hidden subwoofer.
GPS + navigation.
In-cab communication system.
Air horns.
Power tilting windshield.

And tying it all together — a gorgeous finished wood bed laid in earlier this week and a custom leather interior. 😮‍💨🔥

Basically, if they could put it in this ’46 Dodge, they did.

Still plenty happening behind the scenes, but this thing is going to be something else when it’s finished.
