They really ARE trying to restrict our access to performance parts and our freedom to build a race car. REALLY.

You may have heard of the RPM Act and the fight to protect our rights as racers and performance parts manufacturers. And although it may seem like the process is dragging to pass the RPM Act into law, every law proposed goes through a long series of reviews and approvals before landing on the President’s desk. This Performance Racing Industry video does a great job of comparing the lawmaking process with building a race car! Check it out:

A Long-Time Family Member Mustang Is Renewed!

We’ve recently completed a 1970 Ford Mustang convertible restoration here 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 rusty and damaged body, and repainted the Mustang in a nearly-original color.

It’s powered by a Ford 302 V8 backed by a C4 automatic transmission, and was equipped from the factory with air conditioning. Our customer drove the car often, as it was her first car back in 1972. Over the years, the ‘70 Mustang was driven by the next generation in the family, until it was wrecked in 1993 and subsequently parked. It had not been driven since then, and we were happy to return it to the road once completed.

The Restoration Process

The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team disassembled the entire car, and stripped all the paint to reveal previous damage and rust repairs. The convertible Mustang was mounted on a fixture in our fabrication shop to keep the body structure supported and true, and sheet metal repairs began. The quarter panels, rear tail panel, doors and floors were all replaced with new steel.

While this car is restored to appear original, we modified a few aspects of the car for better drivability, reliability, performance, and more enjoyment. For example, we installed an upgraded front suspension system from Rod and Custom Motorsports, which provides a tubular upper and lower control arm assembly based on the later Mustang II geometry. It also features an oversized sway bar and a rack and pinion steering unit for more precise control and modern Mustang Road feel. Improved front disc brakes are also installed, along with all new plumbing and brake lines to help the Mustang stop better. Familiar but upsized 17” Magnum 500 wheels from Scott Drake are wrapped in Bridgestone tires.

Adding Complimentary Technology That Fits The Theme

The 302 small block Ford V8 was rebuilt, and is now topped with a FiTech fuel injection system for modern-day reliability, which is also controlling the electronic distributor and ignition timing. This car came from the Ford factory with air conditioning, but we elected to install a more efficient A/C system from Vintage Air, which uses current refrigerant to cool the air. The front accessory drive is a black serpentine system from CVF Racing, complete with a high-flow water pump and higher output alternator.

The color is very close to the original Ford Medium Bright Blue, but it’s been tweaked a bit as preferred by the owner for a bit more… pop! And where the original paint was a single-stage blue, today’s urethane 2-stage basecoat / clearcoat shines far more than the original finish ever did.

New Interior With A Familiar Look

The V8 Speed and Resto Shop interior shop rebuilt the bucket seats and rear seat, upholstering them in the original white / parchment hue, and a new black carpet covers the sound-deadened floor. The top frame and hydraulic system was restored, and we installed a new white convertible top. Fresh glass looks crisp and clean, Dozens of new trim pieces from Classic Industries were installed to make things new again inside.

This family heirloom 1970 Mustang Convertible is nicer looking, and nicer to drive, than it was when it rolled off the assembly line brand new. We at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop are honored to have the opportunity to bring it to a new level for many more years of family enjoyment.

Virtually everything was wrong with the car, and I only owned it for 3500 miles. Sad, because it was a neat little car.

Here’s What V8 Speed & Resto Shop Customers Say…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ V8 Speed & Resto Shop is the best place to go for any work you need done on your classic car our truck. I have been a customer there for several years, starting with maintenance work on my 1979 Jeep and also taking care of my 68 Malibu. Kevin, Kelle, and the whole team have an incredible amount of knowledge about classics, whether it be keeping things original or a modern resto upgrade. Recently, V8 completed a front suspension update on my Malibu to improve handling. The crew gave me several options and recommended a preferred solution. I am continually impressed with their attention to detail. They are meticulous with my classics and I appreciate it very much. By far, the best part of working with V8 Speed & Resto is their customer service. They get it. The team knows everyone has a different style, subtle tastes, and varying budgets. V8 does everything possible to make sure their customers are happy. – MS


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding is the best word to describe this team. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop is a large team of car enthusiasts that are well versed in building, repairing, restoring and/or improving your car. I was extremely happy with the outstanding work that they did on the restoration of my family heirloom. They listened to what I wanted, provided input, guidance and kept me up to date with every step – even though I am 800 miles away, If you are interested in restoring your car the right way, then this is where you need to take your car! – JS


Hey, thanks yeah man it was a great time up in Bloomington when the benchmark award was more than I could’ve hope for! Shout out to you guys for making it possible and getting the car ready for the show! – NH


A great business with skilled technicians and leaders. They recently completed work on our ’68 Plymouth GTX and we’re very pleased. – GG


Thank you, Joe. The work V8 did was beautiful. People noticed when I showed up at events, and one of them made an offer I couldn’t refuse. I am now the proud owner of a 2008 Corvette ZO6 with 7,400 miles on the clock and I’m loving it. – RM


Truly an outstanding operation!! Complete vehicle restoration muscle cars primarily great staff great owners! A hidden gym in the auto industry! Will definitely be back again fantastic service! – RC


Thanks also to Brian for being there for me on a daily basis. He was a great help. Thanks also to Kelle. She was great to work with on the financial side. Thanks also to Kevin, of course! – RM


That’s a different car than the one I brought you! The ride was excellent, no rattle in the shifter and the radio sounds awesome!!! Thank you so very much.

Great job guys! – CK


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I towed my car all the way from Detroit, Michigan to have them work on it based on their reputation, and they did not disappoint. Outstanding customer service. Top-notch workmanship. Great communication. I will definitely be going back to them for more upgrades when I’m ready. – T.R.


The people at V8 Speed and Resto Shop did excellent work for me and were very professional. They were able to take care of all of my concerns for my car and also helped with some new and creative ideas for my interior. I would recommend them for any car projects that you might have. – B.R.


Joe,
Car is here now. WOW I can’t believe it.
How amazing it looks in person. And the little extra that came with it is amazing. Thanks to everyone at the V8 Speed Shop for all their work.

BD


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just got back from a very nice ride in my beautifully restored Pontiac Trans AM, and I felt compelled to personally email you and your team, to thank you all for the exceptional work put into this car. If you remember our first phone conversation from well over a year ago, I explained that I owned a 77/ TA, and at the time was deeply disappointed in the results of recent work conducted by a so-called “firebird” expert in Springfield Massachusetts. As was evident, they delivered me a car that was incomplete, filled with issues, and certainly far from a finished product I was confident driving, nor was it in any condition that I’d be able to sell in the future with any level of personal integrity. While it was clear that I would need to find another group to rectify the embarrassment, I’m very happy that I found you guys at V8 Speed & Resto Shop!


To give some well due thanks, Joe was very professional and persistent in finally convincing me to send the car out, and although (to kid with him a little) his initial “ballpark” budget estimate was wildly off the final cost total, all things considered I well understand that there were many more bugs and issues revealed during the process. Although it was more than expected, I know that having a car renovated is certainly not for the wary, and the reality is that the classic car restoration business has become a form of art. Possibly industrial art at that, but they’re not making any more 77s. With that being said, the results speak for themselves, and you and your team have truly exceeded all my expectations, and have undoubtedly sent back to me what has to be one of the best examples in the country of a meticulously restored 77 Trans AM Special Edition. From Joe to Brian, Mike, Tracy, Trever, Kelle, and everyone else in the shop that I didn’t get the opportunity to personally speak with, I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with all of you, and thankful for the constant consideration of keeping me informed every step of the way. While I admit that it seemed depressing at times, discovering so many hidden bugs and issues, you did exactly what I wanted and I could not be happier with the final results. This car looks stunning, drives like a dream, and is so perfect that I’m now nervous to take it out for a ride.


It’s kind of ironic, how I was so uncomfortable driving the car before sending it out to you, and now I’m still uncomfortable driving it, but thankfully now for completely different reasons. Although I’ll certainly drive it, the car is genuinely too perfect to take out. With that being said, thank you all for giving me this piece of artwork. It’s truly spectacular!


On a side note, I hope to stop by your shop sometime later this year, and I’ll hopefully get the chance to meet everyone in person, and to talk about a 78 Grand Prix that’s on deck.
Sincerely, J.H.


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brought my 1967 Mustang home today. Between the shop and I, we put 1/2 the miles my old man did in 27 years over 4 months. She runs great again after a 30 year hiatus from sunlight. The team at V8 Speed & Resto is top notch. I dropped the car off after it hadn’t run in 30 years and didn’t need a full rebuild but needed a bunch of work to get it so I could drive it again. They went above and beyond with the service, communication, and cost. Everytime I swung by, was called, or emailed it was a professional experience. On top of that, they were more than happy to host me whenever I came out to see progress. They also loved to share stories and let me see cool (everything there) while I was visiting. This is the only place I’ll bring my 67 Mustang GT convertible for work. Out of shops, I’ve been in lots, this one is rated 100/100. Highly recommend. – G.G.


I originally took my Pontiac to them to get it some final details sorted out from a restoration done at another shop. They did such nice work, I had it back later to get an EFI and and overdrive installed, Top notch!

C.M.


My 1969 Chevelle SS has had lots of work done by the guys at V8 Speed & Resto shop over the past couple years and it been great, from new engine, suspension and some cosmetic work. I would highly recommend them and plan on using them again in the very near future.   – JS


I had my 1979 Firebird Formula at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop last year and they were great. I had a Holley Sniper EFI, new fuel tank, electric fuel pump, and a complete Magna Flow exhaust system installed. They kept me informed on the progress calling me with updates and and always sending me pictures. I would give them a GRADE OF A for the work accomplished by their staff, and would recommend V8 Speed and Resto Shop to anyone wanting there classic cars done right. The staff is very friendly and you really become part of the V8 Speed and Resto Shop family. THE V8 SPEED AND RESTO SHOP TEAM is very knowledgeable at what they do, making sure that you get the best work on your car done the right way.  – JM
 


Kelle, Kevin & Crew,

You guys ROCK!!! Scott finds something amazing and unexpected everytime he looks at his car! He hasn’t stopped smiling since the day you dropped off his “Baby”. Thank you for caring about our car as much as we do! It was truly a pleasure to work with all of you. Please use this gift card to treat everyone to dinner and/or drinks on us.

And again, Thanks!
Scott & Ann


V8 speed is a top restoration shop, my car looks and runs great, got my car back in a short amount of time, i recommend them to anyone needing work done .   – MM
 


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I took my 1978 Bandit Trans Am for some mild upgrades to Kelle and Kevin at V8 Speed and Resto Shop and had an amazing experience. The whole staff were amazing and made my experience personal not only in regards to the work but as people. I got to know several of the people there and they were all top notch, friendly and very knowledgeable. Kelle and Kevin are genuine people with great hearts. They listened to my goals for the car and paid great attention to detail. They specialize in making your experience the best it can be and back it up with top notch work and attitudes. After having numerous less than stellar experiences with other shops in the St Louis area, this was an eye opening exceptional experience. My one and only regret is that I wish I had more cars for them to work on. I will NOT consider taking my cars any where else except V8 Speed and Resto. I highly recommend them and you will not find a better shop with more knowledgeable people and exceptional customer service. Simply the best!!!! Thank you Kelle, Kevin and staff for making my Bandit Trans am the car I always wanted it to be.  – MR


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ V8 Speed & Resto brought my 67 Rustang convertible back to life! From start to finish my experience with V8 was fantastic. Top notch work, excellent communication and an extremely knowledgeable staff from top to bottom made my experience a pleasure. I was kept in the loop throughout the entire process and couldn’t be happier with the overhaul. Extremely skilled craftsman; they truly love what they do and it shows. Try and find someone with more knowledge than Kevin and Kelle…. I dare you. You will not be disappointed! – Steve


Kevin, Kelle, and everyone there at V8 Speed and Resto are awesome and provided a lot of professionalism and attention to detail on my 68 Chevelle when it needed it. Chevelle went through a complete overhaul and have been pleased with it since.  – SC
 


If your looking for a place to bring back cool to your favorite ride this is the shop. Did a fantastic job helping me with my ’63 Imperial Crown convertible. Highly recommend.  – J.Y. 


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ V8 is a the best there is. These guy have their Sh%t together. if you’re going in just for a small patch up or upgrade you still get a thorough examination. What more do we want when we have our hot rods up in the air but to have professional experienced eyes looking out for us.And for extensive upgrades they are just the best as they document everything. No disappointments bringing your dream car here. And there is “always” something cool to checkout while visiting. You are sure to make new friends at V8. A great asset to anyones tool box.  – MS

To all at V8 Speed Shop:

I drove my car this morning. It sounds incredible and it looks perfect! My face hurts from smiling. The sticker in the trunk made me tear up, so very thoughtful.

I can’t thank you enough for getting the car to me. My brother, who I rarely get to see, was so excited to take a drive. He said it reminded him of our father’s T-Bird, it even smells like dad’s car. It brought back such wonderful memories!

H.K.


Been smiling ever since we picked it up! Thanks again for the fantastic job you and your team did to get it back on the road!  S.N.


Great folks. I would highly recommend their services.  – B.B.
 


Joe, I made it home just fine with no issues. You guys did a great job and I’m very pleased with the professionalism and work! You definitely will have a repeat customer here.

I am very pleased with the work V8 has done with rear suspension and interior. I budget the amount I can spend each year and I will be back again to V8 next year for more work.
Thank your team for me
Thank you,
Chuck K.


Joe, Please let Kevin know that, that was a really nice video. It looked so sweet and ready to roar down the streets in town. You guys have been just so great with me. It has been a pleasure to have your team work on our Formula.

I knew I was sending it to the right place when Kevin and I first spoke, and then you really helped by always keeping me updated on everything that was being done with pictures and phone calls. It was a pleasure speaking with you all the time. I can’t wait to take it out for a good drive, even my wife Debbie has been asking when it coming back so that we can go for a ride in it.

Again, please thank everyone for me for everything that was done by all of them. You’ll never know how relaxing it is to a customer to have a shop that takes there time to do things on there cars the right way.   – J.M.


Best quality classic restoration and custom automotive work that money can buy – bar none. If you’re looking for a small addition of power or a race setup, fresh paint or the best restoration available nationally, these are the people to see about it. Make no mistake – good work doesn’t cut it with these folks, only the absolute best results will do. They are perfectionists, and their results speak loudly for themselves. You can be certain V8 Speed & Resto will turn your vision into a reality better than you could have ever imagined.   5 Stars.   – J.S.
 


“They built me my dream car! Top quality work and an honest caring bunch of car nuts is what you will find at V8 Speed & Resto. This shop has what it takes to build whatever you can think of and do it right. Thanks again for building my 1969 Firebird project named Routy. It exceeded my expectations… and that’s hard to do.”

Sincerely Steve “Routy” Prouty


“OMG the car is beautiful. Much more than I expected. Please pass onto your crew how pleased I am.”   – GC


“You guys are first class, do great work, easy to get along and most of all you treat me like Family” – Elvio Tarticchio


Kevin thank you for the very nice podcast and everything you and crew did for us on the GTO, it is a new car and a joy to drive, WAY BETTER!   – MZ


Small town shop with world class results! V8 Speed & Resto is headed up by front man and founder Kevin Oeste a true Visionary with a deep understanding of what’s the best fit for performance & function, classic or cruiser and an incredible knowledge base to back it all up. His ability to think outside the box to make your project truly one of a kind is in his wheelhouse. The shop manager is Kelle Oeste She definitely is no stranger around an engine bay and just one of those people that “gets it” and is remarkable at keeping all daily aspects in the shop finely tuned. The V8 Crew is unsurpassed for making your Muscle Car vision come to life — they provide the perfect complement of performance and style to fit your Dream muscle car specifications.

The Crew’s commitment to producing a Quality product stems from the top management with the greatest attention to the slightest of details which makes the experience memorable & top notch .A feature which makes this group stand above others in the same business is the documentation process, everything from start to finish is documented and walked through just as though you were there and asking the important questions “why would we do that and use this part….well they will tell you why”. See for yourself…….My car truly is a Star featured under Project cars on the V8TVshow.com website “1965 Chevelle SS”. It is a Daily Driver too. “World Of Wheels” Show winner story.

My Dream car rolled out of their shop approximately 2 years ago and I couldn’t be prouder of how it turned out. The process is all worthwhile when admirers comment on how “things look & fit better than factory” and “I wish I still had the one…of course it never looked like this.” But It Could………

Don O. Chicago, Illinois


I absolutely love the work you guys do. You’re the upmost professionals. I’ll make to write your superior workmanship on Yelp  – J.C.

Huge thank you to the crew at V8 Speed and Custom shop in Red Bud. I had them rebuild the carb, replace the front end, do some custom exhaust work to get the pipes off the ground (they were way low!), and fix my stuck passenger door. They were amazing to work with, keeping me updated on a daily basis, and I’m happy to say the car performs 100 times better!!!! A joy to drive!

P.A.


V8 Speed and Resto does awesome work! They can build the car of your dreams! They just completed setting the ride height on the recently installed DSE suspension. Looking Killer! L.A.


Big thanks to Kevin and Kelle and the crew for the dyno work and helping with a couple other items on my car, if you are looking for a top notch shop to build or help with your project you will not be disappointed with v8 speed and resto. B.N.


Thought you’d like to see the fuel rail covers with 442 emblems. The drivers fit perfectly. Passenger side need trimming around a/c compressor. You can’t really tell though. The car is a big hit with all who see it. Even my friends that thought I was totally screwing up my “original” 442. Everyone gets it now. And they all want to know where I had the work done. V8 Speed and Resto in Red Bud, Illinois. Where else!K. L.


I want to thank you and the team at V8 for the outstanding work performed on my Duster. I was so excited to get it back that I drove it approximately 1,000 miles before putting it away for winter.Merry Christmas!- R.M.


Got the ‘Cuda back today from the restoration shop V8 Speed Shop in RedBud IL.It took longer than expected because there was more to be done than expected, so it cost more than expected. The engine bay looks fantastic, and she is sound as a dollar!”J.S.


Everything is running great. I meant to reach out to you earlier to let you and the guys know that I drove 775 miles that first day without any issues. It’s a true testament of the quality of work that was done to it. V/rS.P.


“I continue to be impressed with your operation and the talent of your people. The expertise with the wood restoration and metal work is fascinating. Rod’s great to work with and never seems to be too busy to answer questions and to show me what’s going on.”J.F.


“The shop tour video Kevin did was excellent. I really enjoyed it. I have forwarded it to many of my friends. I also found the photo gallery for the ’46. I have enjoyed going thru the pictures and watching the process of making my car beautiful.


I am so glad I went with the Mercedes Benz Steel Grey instead of the original color I had in mind. The paint looks great on the car. Friends I have shared pictures with say it looks fantastic. Thank the crew for the hard work they have done to make the car beautiful”G.C.


“Hey Kelle !! Made it home without a tow truck ???. Runs like a top . Air is nice and cool too. Thanks again to Mike and all involved on turning the Olds into Mr. Fancy Pants.
Really looks nice. ?? . Ray”

Thank you also for efforts and complimentary labor time to make the steering better.  I have driven the car more in the last couple weeks than in the last 5 yrs.  Larry”


“Amazing things happen when passion and career meet. These people are incredibly talented.”  S.J.


“I would like to thank Kelle, Kevin, and the whole crew at V 8 Speed and Resto. You could not ask for better folks to deal with on anything your classic car needs. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed….”  J. L. 


“The crew at this speed and resto shop is top notch! Great people to work with. I don’t own a show car, but I own an older corvette that I really enjoy driving. I bought it with several known issues and let Kevin and his crew tackle a lot of them recently. I can’t believe the difference! They kept me posted through out the process, including picture and video updates! I couldn’t be happier with the results and the experience. As time and $$$ permit, I will be back!!! Thank you to all who took part!”  P.A.


“Kevin, Kelle, and the entire crew at V8TV are top notch, down to earth kind of people. The work coming out of their ship is second to none. Don’t forget about the web series ‘Muscle Car of the Week’. It’s a must see.”  M.C.

 “My old man hasn’t been happier! You guys did an awesome job.”  – C.S. 


“Kev, Kelle….you guys were worth the 10 hour drive (both ways). Best decision I ever made to bring it to you. If I should ever fall backwards into money again I will definitely be bringing it back for more modifications that are beyond my abilities. LOL!! For the rest of you….stop waiting, they are TOP NOTCH!!!” T. R.
