This cool yellow 1968 Oldsmobile 442 looks great, but the owner wanted better handling, braking, and comfort, while adding more reliable power and overdrive to the car without sacrificing the classic look. The solution is the installation of at Roaster Shop chassis and an LS3 V8. Follow along as we make the upgrades!
Nostalgia gets the best of our host Kevin Oeste as he stumbles across a car he’s been seeking for 32 years… and it’s a van! A custom 1979 Dodge Maxivan, to be specific, very similar to the one his family bought back in 1984. On this episode of the V8 Radio Podcast, Mike “Q-Ball” Clarke is super excited to hear the whole story on this magic bus, and hopefully you’ll dig it, too. What’s Kevin going to do with it? We’ll find out! There’s always some laughs and a couple good Automotive Trivia questions on the V8 Radio Podcast!

Significant cars are considered part of the family, and Otto Robert’s 1955 Ford Thunderbird recently played the role of “Best Ride” in his Son’s wedding! We wish the new couple all the best, and appreciate the importance of moments like these. We’re honored for the opportunity to buff and detail the Thunderbird for the occasion! The “Road Of Marriage” is best when traveled in a cool car! Did you include your classic in YOUR special day?
❤️Congratulations and Best Wishes to the Roberts Family!

This 1965 Shelby Cobra by Backdraft came to us when the owner wanted all the chrome and bright aluminum pieces powdercoated black. In addition, we installed a killer audio system so the driver can hear tunes over the Roush 427! We also performed some paint work on the car after a fender was damaged.
