1961 international metro delivery truck chassis swap at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

This is something you don’t see every day… a 1961 International Harvester Metro A120 delivery van!   Our friend is going to use it as a Bartoli’s Pizza delivery vehicle in Chicago, so we are going to make it easier to drive and change the look to match his restaurant.    The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team swapped out the original chassis and 220 cubic-inch 6 cylinder engine in favor of a modern Chevrolet Tahoe for a donor chassis and driveline.    It’s a super cool truck with a purpose!

1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 Restoration at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

Posted on by V8 Staff
1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 Restoration at V8 Speed & Resto Shop

This cool 1966 Chevelle is the second for it’s owner Larry Frees, who might be familiar as the caretaker of the “Mr. Chevy” 1955 Chevy gasser and hauler ramp truck.     He had a Marina Blue ‘66 many years ago, and this car will serve to be the “jumping off point” from where his old ‘66 left off.    Larry provided us with the beginning of the restoration story as it unfolds in the V8 Speed & Resto Shop.   The car turned out beautifully, after some sheet metal surgery, laser-straight bodywork, and a custom color brewed in-house. It’s putting out over 400 horsepower, it rides on air, and looks fantastic!

V8 Radio Podcast: Solving Problems When There Is No Manual, Trivia, And More!

Posted on by V8 Staff

On this episode of V8 Radio, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste dive into a behind-the-scenes scenario regarding an unusual error faced by the V8 Speed and Resto Shop Crew on a project that’s nearly complete, but not quite yet. The car is the sweet 1969 Camaro heavily modified with a Detroit Speed suspension system, Baer Brakes, Forgeline Wheels, Vintage Air, C and R Radiator, Currie rear axle, Hydratech brake booster, sticky Toyo tires, and more. The big recent upgrade comes in the form of a 700+ horsepower GM LT-4 supercharged V8, and so far, it’s been a heck of a ride. However, the calibration in the ECM is doing a few funky things during the accelerating upshifting process. We’re working with GM on a solution, but sometimes you have to work around quirks when you build custom cars. This, automotive trivia questions, a nod to NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz, and news on an upcoming V8TV production at the Performance Racing Industry show in Indianapolis! Whew, that’s a big episode of V8 Radio!
