**JOHNSON CITY, WE’VE ARRIVED!** 🏔️🔥
The Nostalgia Garage crew is officially on the ground setting up for the **51st Annual NSRA Street Rod Nationals South**. We are incredibly honored to be this year’s **Spotlight Builder**—it’s going to be a massive weekend!
We brought two of our heavy hitters for you to see in person:
⚫ **The 1960 Impala:** A 2024 Builders Showcase veteran from Louisville and a confirmed contender for the **2025 Barrett-Jackson Cup**. This car is pure class.
🔴 **The 1965 C10:** This truck has been on a tear—featured in the 2025 Builders Showcase, the **2026 scottyDTV Dirty Dozen**, and a Top 25 winner at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run.
**[📍] WHERE TO FIND US:** Come inside the building to check out these builds up close. Whether you want to talk shop, discuss a future build, or plan an upgrade for your current ride, we want to see you!
**[🛠️] SHOP UPDATE:** While half the team is here in Tennessee, the rest of the crew is back at the shop keeping our current projects moving full steam ahead. **The shop will be closed to the public until Monday.**
See you on the floor! 🏁👊

The '71 F250 is officially getting a massive hardware upgrade. We just finished the paint work on a full **Late-Model Super Duty axle swap** and our completely **in-house designed suspension system**.
It’s one thing to restore a truck, but it’s another to re-engineer it. By pairing the strength of modern Ford Super Duty axles with a suspension setup we built from the ground up, we’re making sure this Bumpside handles the road (and the dirt) with modern precision.
Every bracket, sway bar, and linkage you see here was designed, fabbed, and now coated to match the vision for this build. No "off-the-shelf" kits here—just custom engineering and heavy-duty steel. 🛻🔥
