Hot Rod Garage

Since we last saw Lucky's surprise Galaxie, it has burned way more oil than rubber. This time, the tired 260ci V-8 gets the boot in favor of a fresh 5.0 Coyote motor, bringing it one step closer to proper super-wagon status.

Pro Street is back, and Hot Rod Garage is putting its Pro Street stamp on a big-winged 1960 El Camino. Step one: stack the blower to the sky!

We may have lost the shop, but we're putting that lease money to good use with an all-new '72 Nova project. This one has two goals: be fast at the track and be civil on the streets.

Our race-focused, street-legal Nova gets all the bugs worked out to let us finally test its suspension. With a big cam with a matched converter to send the power, our foundation is getting set for big horsepower numbers and low street-car ETs.

Lead sleds are universally cool, and buying someone else's project can be full of surprises. Join Alex and Lucky as they uncover all the quirks and shortcuts the previous owner took in their quest to revive one of the coolest styles of all time.

Have you ever wanted to do your own paint and body work, but been too intimidated to try? Let Alex and Lucky show you the tips, the tricks, the dos, and the don'ts of the at-home paint job as they transform their faded and peeling GMC Typhoon.

The El Mirage land speed race is coming up, and we couldn't be more excited! Ready? Not exactly. The Roadster needs a few projects completed to pass tech, and our Push Truck needs every bit of suspension and steering made right.

Years ago, Roadkill rescued a D100 from a junkyard, then left it to sit. Alex and Lucky are making sure it will never be neglected again. This is stage one of an awesome transformation from farm truck to street savage. First stop: the autocross course.

Having reached its peak of preciousness and collectability, one unfortunate C1 Corvette is under the knife at Hot Rod Garage. The days of Sunday services and parade routes will be a memory as it starts a new life of modern horsepower and tire smoke.

Devastating amounts of axle wrap won't stop us, so our D100 farm truck will ride again! And this time, it rides with a gen-three Hemi up front, a whole lot more beef in the rear, and a very aggressive Lucky Costa behind the wheel.

Alex and Lucky team up with the deep pockets at PEAK performance, diving into their wallet and their '63 Bel Air wagon to see just how easily their prepared parts come together.

Big Blower? Check. Anything else Pro Street? Not yet. At least not until Alex and Lucky work their magic back-halfing our X-frame El Camino in the quest for the largest set of Mickeys they can get. One step closer to properly Pro-Street, here we come!

HRG Day started a friends-and-family open-track day, and this year we're inviting all our friends! Freiburger and Dulcich are in, Derek RSVP'd yes, and so did Newbern, Cotten, and Dirthead Dave.
