Default Divers shop photos

A while ago there was some discussion about Divers Street Rods and someone asked me to post up some photos the next time I was there. I went up on Thursday (I take the shop lunch and feed the crew - so I'm not messing up productive time!). The most interesting build right now is the Caddy with the big azz diesel.... so here's some shots of it.








Note the size of the EXHAUST.... Super kool!







Since they're running 20's but wanted the "stock" look - they made these billet "centers" to mimic the originals --- and then will run a hub cap for the center.... Here's the piece followed by what it will look like on the car.









Then -- they're building this "bus" for a regular customer -- but it's got a full Suburu drivetrain.

Their workmanship IS impressive! But on top of that, Timmy Divers and the crew are just flat great guys!

I should have taken more pics - but I'm around this stuff all the time and I just don't think about it. Generally people aren't keen of you taking pics of stuff they're working on... and I've gotten in the habit of just looking and discussing the technical and the wow - and no photos.

They have a pretty decent website if anyone wants to see more.

Divers Street Rods -- just google it.

Thumbs up

Very cool. Thanks for posting Greg.
Both vehicles look great. That bus should be a fun ride. I wonder if they are going to "juice" up the Subaru engine a bit? I notice the wheels are wheels that the Subaru crew run with. I think they are Rota Wheels, if my mind serves me correct. That customer must be a fan of Subarus.
Nothing wrong with that at all. I wouldn't mind a 2011 Subaru STi Limited myself actually.
