When we got the call from our pal Jon at Tube Chassis Designz that we needed to get down to his shop to see something cool, we jumped in the car and went. We were greeted with one of the coolest single cars we have ever seen. This is a factory stock 1967 Shelby GT500 [...]

(Editor’s Note: Our SEMA 2012 coverage will begin later today. Here’s my favorite piece of iron from SEMA 2011!) – Of all the vehicles I saw and crawled over at the 2011 SEMA show, none hit me harder than this 1960 F100 truck, built by 2 Brothers Custom Trucks of Springfield, Illinois. Cool from every [...]

We had the opportunity to meet and hang out with Mumford during the Goodguys Rodfather Tour, and can tell you that he is one awesome guy, just like his cars. Roy Brizio did the final assembly on this one and got it ready for the AMBR competition, and there is no doubt it was a [...]

Our buddy Blair is the lead man at the clandestine “bat cave body shop” that we visit from time to time here on BangShift. We happened by the shop the other day and while there was some great work being done on cars at floor level, the real star of the show is the vintage [...]
Car Feature – Boss Hoss: A 1969 Pro Street Mustang Powered by 604ci of Alan Root Headed Ford Hemi

(Photos by Dave Nutting) – Lately we have been featuring sleepers here on BangShift, so consider this our way of breaking that trend. This car is a sledgehammer, both visually and mechanically. It would be impressive enough to tell you that the car was powered by a 604ci Ford engine, but that would be selling [...]

I stopped by Tube Chassis Designz yesterday to annoy and derail the productivity of my buddy Jon Sandahl and to check on the progress with the Fat Lane t-bolt build that we’ve been following. They have some fiberglass work being done now so as they’re cranking on other customer projects in the shop. One of [...]

(Photos by Dave Nutting and Tube Chassis Designz) – We all love sleepers. Whether it is the idea of smashing someone with a flashy ride in the mouth (figuratively speaking) with something that looks like a sled, the skill required to actually build one sneaky enough to fool everyone, or just the idea of walking [...]

(Photos by Tom Phair, Kerri Lohnes, and the author) – The most commonly asked question we had during our time with the 2013 Ford SVT Raptor was, “Is that thing fun to drive?” The answer is ten times yes. The truck stands as a monument to Ford’s swagger in the current marketplace and it has [...]

Bad ass, bitchin, rad, cool, awesome… Not one of these conveys how bad assedly bitchin the Lafferty’s awesome, rad, and cool, 1930 Ford Model A really is. And before you get your panties all wadded up about how it’s not “traditional enough”, SHUT UP! All that matters, is that this IS one of the coolest [...]

(Editor’s note: On Monday we are running a story about a bunch of old school turbo drag cars that you have probably never heard of before. This is one of them. We ran this little mini-feature a couple of years ago when we saw the car at the Holley NHRR. Here’s another look. There were [...]

Steve Strope and his Pure Vision company have created some amazing cars over the years but this could be his master stroke.

If the guys bootleggin’ moonshine back in the day got their mitts on Jim Sartori’s 1940 Ford, they never would have been caught. Thanks to power from an all-aluminum, 485ci Ford FE motor that made more than 600 horsepower on the dyno, the G-Men would have been a distant memory. This car is flat out [...]
