Engine Power Builds

We heard about a 1977 Granada with a great body, but several mechanical issues. We wanted to build a ride that looks like a Sunday driver…until you step on the throttle! With each aftermarket upgrade, our 1977 Ford takes one step closer to that goal.

Spicy Sleeper Granada

Everyone knows that the Plymouth Road Runner is one of the most iconic American muscle cars ever produced. While some have retained museum-like quality, others have received a personal touch from Mother Nature and Father Time. Detroit Muscle is always on the cutting edge of tackling projects that stand out from the crowd. So look no further than this rough and rugged masterpiece.

What’s more exciting than an instant classic? Music City Trucks knew they needed to hit the ground running, and they decided to do this by building a classic 1991 GMC Suburban they named Unbreakable. They chose this truck for a few reasons, one being the last of the classic square body style, and another because it’s the biggest SUV of its era. The Suburban is a prime example of a beginner off-road rig where parts are readily available at a reasonable price.

Unbreakable Suburban

It’s hard to make a DJ5 Mail Jeep cooler than it already is, but Carcass managed to do just that and build an off-road monster that delivers on its mission of conquering any terrain and keeping its character in the process. The guys sought a unique right-hand drive project that could maintain its allure no matter the project’s direction while providing the off-road performance few vehicles can match on the trails. They did this by stripping down the retired mail Jeep and starting from scratch.

We build a wicked dirt track car, starting with a hand-built chassis and hi-tech suspension!
