Photography By: Todd Biss Productions If you’ve spent any time in a middle school science class, you’re probably familiar with Isaac Newton and his third law of motion: For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if you push against something, it pushes right back. It’s how boats sail through the
It’s a Hollywood fairytale—a supporting actress comes out of nowhere, steals the spotlight, and becomes the star of the movie. So it was in the year 2000, when “Eleanor”—the iconic 1967 Shelby GT500 from the Gone in Sixty Seconds remake—raced into movie car history, and captured the heart of Aaron Miller’s leading lady, his wife Lauren. Years
It’s not uncommon for a big automotive parts company to sponsor a project car, and Summit Racing is no exception. Through the decades, Summit Racing has supported dozens of vehicle builds—from a Factory Five Racing Mark IV Roadster and LS-swapped Miata, to a Pro-Touring Camaro and Baja 1000 Ford Bronco (and seemingly every vehicle niche in between).
Dave Plickert’s garage hides a rare and exquisite treasure. Squeeze past the beautifully resto-modded 1969 Camaro and the factory-fresh 1978 Corvette, slip by the classic Model A street rod, then tiptoe ever-so-carefully around his 1955 Chevy Pro Touring project, and you’ll find it: his tools. With the considerable time and expense that goes into assembling

For others, it’s a wrap after body and paint. Meanwhile, many projects are never truly finished. For the father-daughter team of Danny and Danielle Tackett,
Wearing a flawless Vermillion finish over arrow-straight bodywork, it’s easy to mistake “Hot Rod” Mike Pleveich’s 1972 Nova SS for a trailer queen. But when Pleveich loads his excellent X-body onto the trailer, he’s not headed to a car show—he’s going racing. “I like to go fast,” Pleveich said. And he backs up that fast talk on
[portfolio_slideshow id=57494] Building a show-stopping custom is no easy task. From the initial concept to the finished product, a project of this magnitude usually takes multiple builds to perfect. Keith Sayers achieved perfection in his first attempt. This tricked-out 1953 Ford F-250 is loaded to the brim with ingenuity and creativity—it’s a reflection of Sayers’ natural
When you build a car that “wakes the neighbors,” you put yourself in a tricky position. You certainly want your high performance car to sound like one, and testing and tuning are important. However, not everyone is a fan of the gentle purr of open headers on a Sunday morning, and you might soon become
Sure, Tony Pidala can bend iron and steel at his will, but is he a superhero? The soft-spoken man has the vision of an artist and the courage to do things his own way.
