Nelson Hot Rods and Muscle Cars

The patient is prepped for surgery; scalpel please, err, I mean sawzall. Time to say goodbye to mushy drip brakes and manual steering.

It's mock up time! Final mock up to get all the measurements needed to get the right stance, then its time to cut the front of the off for something more user friendly. The LS motor has been removed and will get a big thumpy cap swap and sheetmetal intake before being dropped back in between the fenders. As usual, we're under the gun to get it to Holley LS Fest in Bowling Green KY in 16 days. Who's going to LS Fest? Come see us in the Car Guy Trailers booth in the midway, the Packard and the Trans Am will both be there.

Ok, finally some video of the T/A stretching her legs for the first time! https://youtu.be/LTHQCxAobTc

Out for a drive in the T/A

It's been a Beautiful day to detail the Hot rod and let some ponies out of the stable! The weekend is almost here, what kind of sweet cars is everyone going to be cruising?

Sorry for the radio silence, been busy building this beast but here's some completed pics! Pics of the entire build from start to finish coming soon.

Found a new home for the 39 in Dallas, that paint was meant for TX sunshine! He's a true car guy, already swapping in a bigger cam!

Out with the old, in with the new! Phase 2 of the Bandit T/A involves upgrading the rear-end to a 9" with 3:73's and a rear disk brake conversion to handle all that added power. We're also upgrading the suspension to make this car a canyon carver. Look out!

Sweet Pro-Touring 73 T/A- Stance makes all the difference!

With all the LSX Swaps we have going on in the shop right now (5 and maybe a 6th soon) it's fun to get back to my roots and do an old school carbureted, roller cam muscle car like the ones' I cut my teeth on. Thanks Zach Lauer for the video! I know Matt the owner will be stoked to get this ravenous bird back on the street! http://www.magisto.com/album/video/fnp-DQUFQgkfDnIADA

This might come in handy as we start our pro-touring builds, pretty sweet! What do you think Jeffrey Burke?
