The drive from MCR Tuning’s headquarters in Horse Cave, Kentucky to the park we had chosen to shoot the car at is about thirteen miles. For thirteen miles, I was having one of the best shows...
Best of 2018: This 1936 Chevrolet Standard Coupe Pick-Up Is A Vision To The Past
I could’ve sat there in the grass for an hour, just staring at what I was looking at. This could’ve easily been the 1930s…there was no noise except for my breathing and a slight...
Best of 2018: This V6, Rear-Drive Converted Dodge Charger Has Been Built Right!
(Photos: Brad Zeidler) What’s the basics of hot rodding? You take something nobody wanted, and you make it faster, better and desirable. It worked for old Fords in junkyards when hot-rodding...
Best Of 2018: 2018 Dodge Durango SRT: A Two-Step Program The Whole Family Can Enjoy

Best of 2018: An Inline-Eight Ford Tempo? That Happened! Check This Freak Out!
Why is a Ford Tempo on BangShift? It’s not a former drag car, or an old Pro Street build. It’s not one of our cheap-car race car ideas, and it certainly isn’t a Rough Start find....
Best Of 2018: This 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Ex-Stock Car Is Now Roaming The Streets!

Disco Might Be Dead, But This 1977 Pontiac Ventura Can Be Brought Back To Life!
The first car I had was a 1975 Camaro that fit the bill, but in all honesty, I would’ve taken just about anything that was set up like a 1970s street ride: slot mags, a bit of a hike in the...
Full Weight: A 1973 Dodge Polara That Isn’t A Cop Special…But Should Run Like One!
It’s very strange to think that a car as…*ahem*…husky as a 1973 Dodge Polara would be anything more than demolition derby fodder to a BangShifter. Yank the good engine out, stuff...
One Of None: This 1971 Pontiac LeMans Got The El Camino Treatment, But Not Like You’d Expect
Making a Chevrolet El Camino look like any of it’s corporate siblings suddenly sprouted a bed is pretty straightforward and simple: take the basic El Camino body, swap the Chevrolet stuff for...
Rough Start: Get This AMC Eagle SX/4 Out Of California As Soon As Possible!
It’s a sporty two-door hatchback. It’s a selectable four-wheel-drive vehicle with some legit off-road chops. It’s pure Malaise, but it’s the kind that can be corrected with...
The “WTF?” Files: This Nissan-Powered 1971 Ford Pinto Has Been Worked Over!
