A typical day in the Fab Shop at @v8speedandresto. Renewing classics, muscle cars, hot rods and customs can be challenging, but the results speak for themselves. #camaro #sheetmetalfabrication #quarterpanel

Oh man, we're getting some early springtime weather here at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop and we've got drop-top dreams in our head! This cool 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible is wearing Frost Turquoise with aqua interior, springtime colors that recall a warm blue sky over a Caribbean sea. We upgraded this one with a new 347 cubic-inch V8 engine and an overdrive automatic transmission for reliable cruising fun in the sun. We added a precise Borgeson Universal Company steering gear for better road feel and control, a Hydratech hydraulic booster for much better stopping, and rebuilt the suspension for a great ride. We just sent it home and the owner is doing a sunshine dance to speed the arrival of warm weather so he can drop the top and rack up some miles of smiles. What does your classic or muscle car need to be a reliable summer cruiser? We're always happy to help! #galaxie #convertible #musclecar #classiccar #summertime #v8speedandresto www.v8speedshop.com/

We always love when parts come out of the cleaning process, ready to be machined into fresh, renewed engines. The V8 Speed & Resto Shop in-house engine machine center is the fountain of youth for all kinds of vintage original and high-performance engines. www.v8speedshop.com/ #engineshop #machineshop @v8speedandresto

MIG welding is a great skill for car restoration, and we've taught many how to do it. If we offered it on a weekend, would you be interested in taking a 1-day MIG welding class? #migwelding #skills #v8speedandresto

Remember the cool blue '67 Camaro we built a while back? It recently returned to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop for a boost in the boost! We brought the supercharged LSA engine to our engine machine shop and slipped in a Texas Speed Stage 3 Cam and valve spring kit for better breathing, a set of matched injectors to fuel the fire, and a smaller blower pulley, because more air makes more boom!

We test ran the LSA to ensure everything was running smoothly, then slipped it back into the ‘67. A trip to the chassis dyno is next for a final tune. It was a blast to drive before the upgrades, and we’re excited for version 2.0! We’ll share some video when it’s all dialed-in! #Camaro #MuscleCar #LSX #Supercharged #Performance #enginebuilds #v8speedandresto #v8speedshop

The 1957 Ford Thunderbird we built a few years ago came back for some detail work and maintenance, we're happy to see how much the owner likes driving it! It's sitting on a custom chassis with a Ford 5.0 Coyote V8 hooked to a Lokar shifted 6-speed automatic, stopped by Wilwood Disc Brakes, cooled by Vintage Air, monitored by Dakota Digital gauges, and sings through a custom built, oval-tubed Magnaflow exhaust system. We call builds like these our Driven series, as we didn't do any paint work to the body, but re-imagined the driveline and chassis to improve the ride and power without losing the DNA of the car. You can watch the 3-part video build series and all the photos in the link below. What can we build for you? #v8speedshop #v8tv #hria #restomod #thunderbird #tbird

Just finished up this torque-monster 462 ci Oldsmobile build for a rare '71 Cutlass Supreme SX convertible! 🤘 All machine work, assembly, paint, and detail work done in-house at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop. The COMP Cams hydraulic roller camshaft conversion and Edelbrock Performance aluminum heads and intake topped with Holley Terminator EFI make this beast a joy to drive! There's also an overdrive automatic hiding under the unmodified floor. The best part is the car now has tons more power with a totally stock and correct look, as it's one of only 357 produced! It's a rare breed of a total tire fryer that is super comfortable with great handling. Yes please!
