I think there may be some bias in that remark! :lol:

Wow that engine set up is super sick! Cant wait to hear that beast prrrrrrrr!:yes:

The TT Nelson motor is going in a 2nd Gen Camaro we have been working on. There has been quite a bit of drool around that thing on our end as well. It is just bad ass!

We also finished up all of the fixturing for our 2 new Fast Track Mustang front suspensions. I will have more info posted shortly in our Vendor Specific Thread section.

More info on the mustang set ups, please!
Looks awsome.

for a second there I thought you had a gen IV twin plasma vulcan cannon repeater in the 60 watt range then I had to double check the date...its still 2011.

love the gasser...those were the days

I think I missed the 1st gen Nova clip;) Is one coming? Because that would be cool:thumbsup:

Once again very nice.:thumbsup: Scott M.

Wow that front clip looks very sexy :thumbsup:

Here is another chassis that you probably won't see every day. A local shop in Milwaukee started building a custom Divco milk truck and needed a chassis. After they had the body framed out, they sent it down to us to build a custom chassis. The truck has some cool history behind it. A family dairy farm used this truck for their deliveries back in the 40's and 50's. They still had the truck and wanted to turn it in to a hot rod now. The idea is to make a luxury conversion van out of a Divco.

The only thing left from the Divco is going to be the front clip. The builder fabbed the inner structure for the rest of the vehicle that will later be skinned in aluminum.

I didn't know you guys did commerical truck also :rofl: That frame is huge but still looks sexy as always :thumbsup:

Milk truck with LS9... That's gotta be too cool to be truth.

I saw a broom in that shop W/my name on it.:lol: Very Cool.:thumbsup:

sweet!!!
wanna humor us with an estimate $$$ of what that cost them?

The guys at DMC deffinatly have a sweet project going on with that divco truck! Would love to see them take that thing out on the Auto x track! :thumbsup:

We can design and build a chassis for just about anything. We have done custom chassis for a 60's Lincoln, 1930's-50's Oldsmobiles, Buicks, and Pontiacs, a 1930's Mack truck, one of Mickey Thompson's vintage race cars, and a whole bunch of unique projects in between.

The LS9 is actually for the 56 Chevy chassis next to the Divco. This one is getting a 502 or 572 with a 4L80 behind it.

The chassis is in line with any or our production muscle car chassis. There is a slight up charge for the design time and building all new fixtures to construct the chassis and frame rails around.

That would be pretty cool to see! I don't know if it would fit between the cones though.

We also have a dust pan to go with it! Once you have mastered those skills we can step you up to our customized Cadillac edition floor cleaning zamboni, the Zam-Brougham.

That milk truck rocks! Keep us updated on that one for sure please.


So when I get fed up with the oil industry, can you guys hire me? I have an ME degree and plenty of hands on experience :D

Fantastic work as always.

HA HA!! Big pimpin'.:D

We have been making a lot of progress on a few other builds in the shop. A few are below and I will be starting new threads on a few other new projects over the weekend.

The 55 Nomad is coming together and getting close to its interior date.

We are also getting pretty close on the Nova gasser. We received most of the parts back from chrome, but are waiting for a few more and then this thing will be back on the road.

Custom throttle bracket and linkage.

SS fuel lines routed through the gap in the intake along with the regulator.

Also swapped the front over to Wilwoods to help make this beast stop.

And re-coated the headers to the original orange.

We received this 57 Caddy yesterday for us to build a custom Fast Track chassis.

Suicide doors

Another cool feature is that there is no center pillar. Just a unique bracket that comes up with the two latches floating in the middle of the seat.

Gasser's looking great. I like that center bracket for the suicide doors.I love that Nomad.

Man I am digging the Caddy

That Caddy should be a cool build. What are the plans for it besides the Fast Track chassis?

We just had a 57 caddy 2 door in the shop a few weeks ago and I was telling the guys how cool it would be to have a new chassis under it and a Northstar!

Shdizzle-my-dizzle,I will start savin for some gold teeth,and I will be set to drive that hoop-dee bro!!.:thumbsup:

The Caddy is bad a$$ for sure. It will be cool to see something this big be able to handle! I don't know all of the plans for the car at this point. We are just doing the chassis end. It will be set up with Ride Tech bags and power will come from a twin turbo LS. That is all I have for details now.

Well, the C10 got "back shelved" for a while so we could finish up a few other projects. I have been slacking on the updates as well. It is now ready to roll again and should be ready for interior in the next few weeks after final assembly is completed.

The C-10 looks incredible!!!! Can't wait to see it back in action.

Looks awesome. Are those the wheels/tires that it will ride on?

Thanks for the pics. Odd as it may seem, this car has been an obsession of mine for a very long time and I've always viewed it as -the- car I would want to own. I'm really looking forward to this project. :)

-Jim

It's a bit open right now. I want to keep it relatively stock looking on the interior/exterior. I'm having copies of the original wheels made in slightly larger diameter.

Twin turbo LS is the logical choice to move this much car around but I'm not sure if it's "right".

I considered doing an STS-V supercharged northstar. Also maybe a 500ci LS with dual 4bbl throttle bodies and a fabricated batwing air cleaner so at a glance it looked somewhat stock.

I think the best engine would be a Falconer V12 but it's been done and it's a little pricey ;)

Is this the same intmd8 that is envolved with speed Inc? If so, I really look forward to what you end up doing. I still watch your tt lt1 video from maxton.

Yes and thanks. Maxton was a good time, good thing the ol LT1 held together so I had a ride home.

All those engines sound awesome. But to me nothing says classic caddy like a BB 502 twin carb. Just this monster of an engine and all you hear when you hit the gas is tires squealing and carbs sucking air. :yes:

That is a really sweet C10. Very nice color scheme.
That Caddy is going to be pretty neat. A twin turbo LS engine is a great choice for that beast!

A lot of changes and additions going on recently. We are just finishing some major overhauls on the web site with a few more still to come in the next week or two. We have wrapped up all of our informational videos on our Fast Track chassis and suspension systems that you can take a look at in our Roadster Shop Vendor Section We figured a video would be a bit more informative and entertaining than reading a bullet point list of features. hope everyone enjoys and finds them informative.

We are heading off to Indy for the Good Guys show in a few hours and I wanted to post a few pictures of the 57 that was just wrapped up.

Looks great, did you guys bring it to the Mundelein cruise tonight? I didn't have much time so just did a quick pass.
