1977 Pontiac Trans Am SE Upgrades at V8 Speed and Resto Shop V8TV

 

The black and gold late 1970s Pontiac Trans AM SEs are some of the most recognizable American performance cars of all time.   Of course, being the star of a huge Hollywood action film didn’t hurt, but these late 2nd gen Firebird Trans Ams had strong performance to match their movie star good looks.

1970 Ford Mustang Convertible Restoration at V8 Speed and Resto Shop V8TV

 

We’re finishing up a 1970 Ford Mustang convertible restoration at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop.   This is a cool Mustang Restomod with a rich history, and has been in the same family since the summer of 1972!   The V8 Speed team completely disassembled the car for rust repairs and suspension upgrades, fixed the bodywork, and repainted the Mustang in a nearly-original color.    We thought we’d share an update as we build the car in our latest “What are you in for” video series where we share in-process projects from around the shop!

High-pressure fuel systems required by Electronic Fuel Injection systems pose a possible safety threat should the car ever be involved in an impact.   We like to install Inertia Fuel Cutoff Switches in the EFI retrofits performed at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop.   The Fuel Cutoff Switch turns off the fuel pump in an impact to prevent dangerous high-pressure gasoline spraying on a hot engine and causing a fire.

1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Restoration at V8 Speed and Resto Shop V8TV

 

We’re completing some upgrades and restoration tasks on this 400-powered 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in the V8 Speed and Resto Shop.   The Sterling Silver 1977 Trans Am has been in our customer’s family since new and often driven over the years.  Today, it’s in for a mechanical, interior, and body and paint restoration.   We thought we’d share an update as we build the car in our latest “What are you in for” video series where we share in-process projects from around the shop!

Mustang and Camaro Mini Tub Install Tips at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

A great way to fit a larger rear tire on a pro-touring, drag race, or restomod Mustang, Camaro, or other Muscle Car is to perform a mini tub install.  Mini tubs are larger rear wheel houses that allow for wider rear tires which provide more traction when you’ve added more power to the engine.  We install lots of mini tubs at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop, and we share some mini tub install tips in this video.

1970 Plymouth Superbird 392 HEMI 6-Speed Transformation at V8 Speed and Resto Shop V8TV

We’re transforming this 1972 Plymouth into a 1970 Plymouth Superbird complete with a Mopar Performance 392 6.4 Hemi and a 6-Speed manual transmission in the V8 Speed and Resto Shop.   It’s also getting some new tubular front suspension and other upgrades along with a complete repaint.  We thought we’d share an update as we build the car in our latest “What are you in for” video series where we share in-process projects from around the shop!
