Great day today!! We went to a couple of salvage yards, parked in the brush was this really clean 66 Polar “Next on the chopping block” we said “No” so we signed the adoption papers! She got a bath on the way home and is heading back from the grave. Look for this car and so many others on our FB page and be sure to follow along.

It’s happening! 2JZ is in the falcon, for now. Don and I were busy this week building a 5.3 twin turbo engine, the T bird engine got a look over and the 55 bel air got all its brakes finished. We love these old cars and we know you do too! Don’t be shy stop on by.

“It is time” rafiki said, and I say “It’s 2JZ time”.

I’m finally getting my 2JZ dreams going again. I just bought this one from my buddy Dakota. This is going to be built for our 65 Falcon project with a T56 6 speed.

Want to keep up with all the builds at Hotz N Rodz?

The 55 bel air got a new power steering box and is getting a tilt steering column and a freshly rebuilt 265.

We have been super busy this week with 56 T bird getting its 3.5 eco boost ready.

We even found time to take a drive in Mr. Walkers 66 Mustang, we installed a new rear main seal and a stubborn c4 pan gasket.

Lord help me I love what we do.

If you need anything done to your classic car or truck give us a call.

Don’t crush’em restore’em!

We were tasked with getting this 1955 bel air up and going. We removed the 265 today. The engine was rebuilt but never ran, she is stuck to say the least.
We are so excited for this project and stay tuned for the 56 T bird 3.5 eco boost swap we picked up the engine and transmission for it today. We love what we do, we do it everyday. The 66 Lincoln twin turbo LS is progressing nicely as well, the engine is coming back from machine shop this week ready to build and prepare for the twin’s.
