This ‘58 Corvette has been modernised by Ol School Garage with an injected 6.0L engine, 4L60E auto, 9” diff and Rodtech front end. A coil rear, strengthened chassis and upgraded brakes completes the update together with lots of smaller details.

I’ve been following this Isuzu FTR through from body construction for a race car application and chassis mounting to near completion for the J1 code.

Today I completed my first 4210kg GVM and 7800kg GCM upgrade for a Landcruiser 300 Series. This is a serious upgrade for this model.

This clean ‘69 XT Falcon Ute came in for engineering approval for engine swap to 302V8, 5 speed Tremec, 9” diff., brake upgrade to four wheel discs with Wilwood master and VH40 remote booster plus a seat swap. A really nice traditional car.

I checked out a father and son project for the team doing this work. They’re doing everything together which is the same as a bonding exercise I did with one of my sons and we ended up with a great partnership and an elite vehicle. This one is more basic but the partnership can be the same. I’ll do what is needed to help them.

Things that rattle and shake! The most common problem during approval inspections is with clearance issues. The second most common is with loose parts like this one — and more in the comments.

I’ve just completed a Stage 2 inspection on this fabricated chassis for a ‘52 Chev Coupe with custom front and rear suspension designs by the owner. Still plenty of work to go but he’s on the right track so far.
