Campbell's Hot Rods LLC Excellence in classic restoration and performance!

Since 2000, Josh and Scott Campbell has been restoring and hot rodding classic and collector cars as a hobby, or passion. We've used the name Campbell's Hot Rods over the years for fun, then in late 2011 talking amongst friends, and at the suggestion of many people who have seen our work, we have decided to make this a reality. This will begin as a side, hobby oriented venture, but if the need to

expand occurs, we are more than capable of handling the needs of our customers. We offer collective talents in paint/bodywork, electrical, mechanical including engine and suspension, and full ground up restorations, or hot rod design and creation. Although eventually we will focus on full restorations, and classics only, we will also be able to handle any custom, or appearance modifications to a wide spectrum of automobiles, as well as access to painting facilities.

Not quite sure if I'll make Duct Tape Drags... but at least I'm making progress, even if just a little bit at a time. Going to strip the subframe for powdercoat, then I can install the 350/4 speed I have for it. 18" Boss Motorsports wheels will look killer on it too.

While I can appreciate a cleanly shaven firewall just as much as the next guy, I've never seen a car like this one. I've had to go back and measure, then put back in some of the holes they filled... blower motor (for Vintage Air hose pass-thru), the clutch rod hole, lower column mount bolts next. They already cut back in the column and fuse block holes... all after paint mind you.

Now I go to remove the parking brake and realize there are no nuts... they cut the studs off to fill the firewall smooth! 🤦🤦🤦 I mean, do 4 speed cars really need a parking brake?

Also can see the New Port Engineering wiper motor we had to buy to clear the filled wiper pocket that won't fit a factory wiper motor... and even with the smaller Newport wiper motor, I had to modify the mounting slightly still to get it to fit.

Helping my dad on this one. I haven't done a fuel pump in a 4th Gen since I had my 98 Trans Am 12 or more years ago. It wasn't fun then, still isn't. Though doing it on a 2 post lift sucks less than doing it on your back.

Fuel pump first, though I'm pretty sure the Optispark will be next on the list.

My youngest daughter wasn't feeling too hot these past couple days, luckily she's pretty much well now.

Now I'm with the night shift crew, got too much going on, can't fall behind. That's one thing that didn't suck with the corporate gig... salary, and PTO. Oh well, never going back.

Doing quiet work tonight (well, aside from the Pink Floyd blasting away). Helping a friend with his cool 73 Camaro RS Z28. A show car from the 80s that was recently pulled out of storage. Going through some leaky seals. Muncie 4 speed will be done tonight, and will start on the differential.

Check out all the cool chrome bits done back in the day. The driveshaft is plated too.

Too bad, I liked that thermometer.

I finally made it to CE Auto Electric Supply to check out their awesome and growing operation. So much on hand for any wiring needs, it would be overwhelming to check it all out.

One of my goals for continuous improvement is to take my wiring harnesses to the next level. With many of these cars running EFI, electric fuel pumps and dual fans, air conditioning, etc, and all needing direct battery power, connecting a half dozen power wires, and hanging loose relays gets pretty cumbersome and ugly.

These waterproof power distribution centers will be a great addition to all my wiring jobs going forward. I can integrate relays and fuses in a factory style, easy to access sealed box... No hunting relays and inline fuses throughout the car. Additionally, the EGIS MIDI fuse holder will allow convenient and clean wiring and circuit protection for the higher amp circuits.

Wild. I've never been to a boneyard with a taco shop directly attached. Oh, and they sell beer here too.

Super annoyed. Drove out west to pick up a 58 Ford parts car and the guy isn't answering now. Luckily it was my secondary reason for coming, I'd be more pi**ed otherwise.

Figured I'd kill a little time for him to get back to me.

I've been busy with other stuff these past few weeks, some of which I'll update here next week, but I'm finally back onto the 71 Chevelle. Finished up the final tweaks to get the Auto Metal Direct quarter panel installation fully done, now I'm happy with it, now I can resume the gapping process. One modification I did up front was move the rear of the quarter out about 5/8" to make it more flush with the bumper ends. Now I can fully flush the bumper, and refine those gaps as well.

Before pic of the cat-eyed previous quarter panel at the end.
