1994 Chevy Dually Custom
It’s funny how things work out. After reading an article on Speedhunters, I was briefly skimming over the comments at the bottom of the article, when I noticed someone talking about a suicide-rod being built for drifting duties. I googled the persons screen-name and found they had an account on Zilvia, so I promptly headed over there and pm’d them asking for more details in the hope of getting some pics & info for you guys.
As fate would have it, the project had been put on the back-burner. Fortunately for us, the team behind that car has something else in the build.
Presenting, Industrialized Metal, a 1994 Chevy Dually custom truck.
Project 33
The caption under the picture says it all, “The first street rod built entirely on the web!”
Backyard built GT Racer S14a
Race cars are solely built in state-of-the-art facilities by a multitude of engineers and fabricators right? Wrong! Some people like to break the rules and build awesome machines in their back yards, just like the following example.
Hollish Bros. Coupe Restoration
If you’re a traditional hot rodder there are a few paths you can take to building your own rod. One option is to build a car that captures the style of what you would have seen cruising the streets in the 40s, 50s, and 60s using period-specific parts. Another option, if you want to take things a bit further, is to adopt the more extreme approach by restoring an actual prominent show car or race car to its former glory for a whole new generation to admire and enjoy.
That’s exactly what happened to the Hollish Brothers A Competition Coupe.
The KidVRod
What happens when you’re a 4 year old kid with a father who loves aircooled VW’s and knows how to weld? Well, you get your very own scaled down version of a VRod, of course!
Possibly the coolest dad in the world, Kristian from Finland transforms a regular Beetle shell into the baddest fully functioning kid-car going around for his lucky son.
Slammed MINI Clubman on air
I always thought of these Clubmans as the ugly duckling of the MINI range, until I saw this one. Does anyone else think that just about any car can look cool when its sitting on it’s rails?
1:10 Scale sunRISE AE86 RC Car
Here’s a build thread on a smaller scale, literally! I’ve gotten a few hits in the past from OneTen.co.za so I hope they get a kick out of seeing this build here. Philchrome wanted to create a 1:10 scale replica of the sunRISE AE86 drift car, but instead of stopping at paint & decals, he went 10 steps further and created an engine bay and interior too. This is taking RC car building to the next level, just look at all the little details.
Poke & Stretch Audi A4
This Audi ticks all the boxes on how to build a scene-approved ride in the contemporary car world; low, wide, smooth, and wheels poking out from the guards. Built purposely to be worthy of gracing the front page of a car magazine, the owner has surely meet not only his own expectations but many others along the way. I doubt it will be embraced by Audi purists or those who don’t care for the latest car fashion trends, but it seems to be popping up in picture threads on forums & blogs everywhere, so come behind the scenes and see how it was put together…
AMS Performance EVO X Time Attack
No doubt many of you who browse various car sites/blogs/forums would have seen some pictures of this build going around. Presenting the AMS Performance Time Attack EVO X.
It started it’s life as a Street Class car, then got torn down and transformed into an all out Time Attack monster.
