New project in the shop.

This ’52 Chevy truck just rolled in and it’s going to be a big one. Full overhaul from the ground up. It’s sitting on a Canadian Hot Rods Road Hugger chassis, this chassis sits on C4 Corvette suspension, and powered by a supercharged 6.2 LSA with a 4L80 transmission.

Lots of parts came with it… now it’s time to pull everything apart and figure out the plan.

This is the start of a full build series, so we’ll be sharing the process as it goes.

Excited to get started.

Follow along.

“Test driving” before it’s even finished 😂

Today’s plan:
Make the to-do list before final fit up, then pull it apart… prep it… paint it… put it back together…

Then drive it.
Easy.

What’s going on in the shop today?

Mazda RX8 in the booth getting masked and ready for paint.

Spraying 46V Mazda Candy Apple Red, and this one’s getting layered properly:
3 coats of colour
4 coats of candy
3 coats of clear

That’s around the car 10 times to build depth the right way.

Bodywork and widebody installation by 👌

This one’s going to glow!

1978 GMC C10 - 3 Years in the Making
Three years into this build and it’s finally starting to show what it’s becoming.
This ’78 GMC C10 has been completely reworked from the ground up, custom chassis that was designed and built from the ground up, full suspension,right here in the shop. Every mount, measurement, and modification was done with one goal in mind — doing it right, not fast.

From bare frame to where it sits now, this truck has been a full custom build:
• Custom-built chassis
• Full suspension setup
• Modern drivetrain
• Countless hours of fabrication and refinement

Still a ways to go, but the foundation is there, and it’s been worth every hour.

A few highlights so far.
