Maniacs Garage

Maniacs Garage One of a kind cars, our 49 Ford body swapped BMW called "Born 49ain" [Born Again] & more... Maniacs Garage is an automotive lifestyle brand.

It is the brainchild of John who has a long history in the custom car scene. His projects go way back to the Mini Truckin' days of the 90's, the Import Tuner scene of the early 2000's and all kinds of other cool rides in between. The idea for Maniacs Garage started with our Instagram page in 2005. As the page grew to over 300K followers we realized that it was time to build our own project car. Th

rough a series of circumstances we ended up with a 1949 Ford Shoebox that we will body swap to a BMW E92 335i. The car will be on display at the 2020 SEMA Show in the MKW/ Hostile Wheels booth and will feature product partners such as: Toyo Tires, Garrett Motion, Doc Race, Optima Batteries and many more! You can see the progress of the build on our YouTube channel, Instagram and pages. Make sure you Subscribe and give us a follow!

Word for today:
"...for through Him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see - such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him".
Colossians 1:16

Well..... there is a way!!
It's just pretty expensive!
Found a way to get the [BORNAGAIN] over to Virginia.
I've never tried raising funds but this would be a good opportunity for that.
Let me know if you guys want to see this car out at the grand opening on June 26th!!

Encouraging Word:
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
