The trend in Hot Rodding for the last few years has been to build a car that had a ‘40’s or 50’s vibe to it... And that’s a cool look. However, I have always liked the late ‘60’s era when Drag Racing was King and you had some really wild things running down the strip like Blown front engine dragsters and Fuel Altereds.  During this time, their...

Most people would love to have a ’34 Ford hot rod, a tire-burning ’55 chevy, or a classic 60’s muscle car. The problem is, these cars tend to be expensive, and are getting harder to find every day.  The idea behind the Knucklebuster project,  was to illustrate  how you can take  a later-model vehicle from the 70’s or 80’s and turn it into a...

I wanted the Hairy Hauler to be something you could drive anywhere, or drag race on the weekends when you felt like it. This is a nice combination if you can pull it off. Now for an early 60's feel when wild customs were popular and drag racing was king, I knew the truck had to be blown or injected, preferably on an early Hemi. It also had to...
