The clutch I installed in my 65 Chevy Impala, Project Evil Orchid, went bad on day 1 of Rocky Mountain Race Week, RMRW 1.0, last year. I need to find out what happened. What did I do wrong? The BluePrint Engines Power Adder small block 400 has been running great, as well as the American Powertrain T-56 Magnum six speed. The clutch is a RXT Twin Disc from McLeod was working perfect, until I did something to make it not perfect. McLeod has been great trying to help me diagnose the problem. But, it’s necessary to pull the transmission to find the problem, and get to it fixed.

I am so confident in McLeod’s products, I ordered another RXT from them, and will send back the old one to be inspected and rebuilt.

It’s time for Easter Jeep Safari again, and my Jeep is still broken from last year. Time to start preparing my 1991 Ford F-350 Mom’s Spaghetti for the trip to Moab Utah. I tackle some issues with the transmission, rear suspension, and even add a little Bling with a metalflake steering wheel.

If you are in Moab for EJS 2024 make sure to stop by the Bestop kickoff party March 25 in the parking lot behind the Food Truck circle downtown. Fred Williams and I will be down there hanging out.

It sure wasn’t pretty, but they got that part in the works and got some suspension under it, so now it is time to stuff some power into this beast. It’s time to build a burnout truck and that’s just what they are going to do. But not before some real work had to happen and part of that was getting this thing up in the air so they could start taking it apart and seeing what is going to need to be done to add some pretty back into the mix. With that sorted it is time to get cracking on some new parts going together and that means some cool stuff from QA1, and several other companies. In the case of the engine, they have chosen none other than Texas Speed and they’ve picked out something special to go under the hood.

Don’t worry, after that this thing is going to be getting all the go fast goodies it needs to successfully spin the tires at eleventy thousand miles per hour in pursuit of all the smoke and tire blowing applause. I mean what could possibly go wrong?

Watch.

I bought this 1969 Buick Wildcat at auction sight unseen. Will it run and drive after sitting for 21 years? I sure hope so. This 430 cubic inch big block left the factory rated at 360 horsepower and 475 ft lbs of torque! Talk about a ripper. Stick around to the end of the video to see if it’s still a ripper after all these years!

In a previous videos we shared the 1938 Ford Convertible Hot Rod that the guys at Iron Trap Garage found stashed away in an old garage, gave a first wash, and discovered had a seized engine. But lucky for them, they had a bitchin 331 Caddy they scored that would work great after some firewall massaging. Then the rear axle to get some love cause this thing was not good, and they lowered the rear in the process. If you missed any of the previous videos in this series, use the link below to check them all out.

You have to think that if there are barn finds of all kinds that still show up today, not all of them are going to just be regular driver cars. What I mean by this is that some of them have to be hot rods too, right? I realize that you’d think most of the hot rods would keep being passed along, but I know I’ve got projects that haven’t seen the light of day in 10 years, so it is conceivable that this same thing could happen to other folks hot rods and that we’ll have barn find hot rods too. And that is exactly what happened with this 1938 Ford Convertible. It hasn’t been on the road since 1973 and is a hot rod that had an engine swap and more.

The Eaton-Fuller Road Ranger transmission has been produced in the millions over the years. Modernized and updated as time has gone one, the Road Ranger is one of those gearhead products that was good when it debuted and has continued to get better. Offered in a bunch of configurations over the years, if one were to get into the guts of a unit made today, there would still be many similarities to what they see in this video made around the time of the Kennedy assassination judging by the cars showed in the opening scenes.

These were non-synchro boxes and at one point the narrator mentioned that synchronizing the shifts is up to the skill of the driver. Boy, we’re along way from those days, eh?

Tech, history, and an iconic unit that it is all based around. This is truly awesome.

When you get a Camaro project, you care a bit less about the rust when it comes with a bunch of new replacement panels. After all, when you’ve got all those parts sitting in the garage you are all done but the doing it right? It’s 2/3 built when the parts are all there. Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves don’t we? Well this video has Dan fitting a bunch of those new parts to see if they are actually going to solve his problems or just cause more.

Everyone knows Dan from DD Speed Shop for all his Tri-Five Chevrolet builds but did you guys know he has a couple of First Gen Camaros? Yep, and he’s saving one that is all full of rust. It’s like Dan just can’t keep from cutting off rust and welding on new, or at least better, sheet metal. We don’t understand his passion for this kind of punishment, but love him for saving great cars. We’re all in the same boat with the same sickness.

We’ve been thrashing on this 1967 Camaro for about a week. We’ve made a pile of progress, no much progress that we’re out of parts.

Disc brakes and tubular control arms are in the mail. New quarter panels and wheel tubs have been ordered. But most importantly! We have a drive line picked out! Did you guess right?

Okay folks, this one is going to be something special. And it takes someone special to want to build something like this but we love Peter Bjorck for it! We’re not going to tell you what body this car is going to have on it, until you learn in the first video with us, but man this is going to be a bit of a sleeper. Sort of. The plan is for this to be a 25.2 SFI certified chassis that is all-wheel drive and powered by a Lamborghini V10 with twin turbos. We already know these are capable of crazy power and that means that in this lightweight car it really should be something special on the streets. I say streets because this car is specifically being put together to have a license plate and be driven to and from wherever he wants to take it. I can tell you that nothing would be cooler than for him to get this thing together and then bring it over for Rocky Mountain Race Week one year.

Dude.

So check out video number two in the series, and we’ll keep bringing you more as it comes together. This is really going to be something special like we said.
