Finally, we put the heart back in the beast today. Cannot wait to get all the trimmings put on her and get her fired up. We still have a transmission rebuild we are waiting for and some other miscellaneous parts.

A few parts deliveries this week and our 95’ Saleen Mustang tribute engine is progressing nicely. Nicknamed ‘Brutus’ because of her red and silver scheme, we think she will be a fire-breather!

Picked up this 351 Cleveland yesterday from one of our friends in the East Valley Mustang Club. Our first Cleveland engine. Look at the size of those exhaust ports!

Our latest engine build. Thank you to S&S machine shop for getting the machine work done on this 302. She has all the bells and whistles and is ready for the supercharger! Waiting on some ARP hardware and tall valve covers to come in before she goes in to our 95 mustang vert restomod!

Pretty happy with our new, 2025 Toyota Tacoma we have named “RIVET”. A solid platform and hopefully a great workhorse for us through the coming years.

Weekend preparation for pulling the stock 5.0 in our 1995 Mustang GT vert project. Once the engine is out, lots of cleaning and minor paint work before putting the new power plant in!
