Feature Friday 🚗🔥
We’re diving into a full build + preservation on this ’33 Coupe. A true Elwood hotrod icon from the 60s. After years in long term storage, it’s back in the shop. We’re preserving the original body and building a brand new chassis with a historically correct big block Chevy drivetrain.
Honoring the past while building for the future. 🛠️
