I know Cory enjoys rowing gears in this thing. ⚙️ We built this car a while back and it made over 500whp N/A with a mild cam and some other small goodies. This time we changed the oil and cut open the oil filter for an inspection just to make sure everything is in tip top shape.

It should go without saying that lug-nuts (or studs) should be torqued to a specific value. Sometimes, we run into some wheels that require a little extra effort to remove. 😅 Watch as we put away the 1/2" Milwaukee impact and flex a 3" name brand pry bar on some VW lug studs.

This Ford Raptor came in with a leaking front axle seal. Replacing it is no easy task with the shock in place, but our team got the job done and topped off the differential with AMSOIL fluids

This one was unique for us.🏎️ The client refreshed and reinstalled his suspension, then brought the car for scaling/balancing and an alignment. Cross‑corner weight differed by under 20 lbs, so he left it. Every suspension fastener at the knuckle and chassis is secured with aircraft style twisted wire to prevent them from coming loose. After the alignment, we replaced all of the wiring we had to remove to make the proper adjustments. Pretty cool toy!

These front axle U-joints were due for replacement, but getting there required removing a large wheel seal that wasn't eager to come out. 😅 The air hammer is the tool of choice for the removal, while a very specific (large & heavy) seal installer is used to drive in the new seal.

Our client Susan brought us her and her late husband's 1932 Ford that was updated in the 90's. It doesn't get driven much anymore, but when she wants to take it out for a cruise it has to be right.

Coming out of storage, it struggled to start. It had rubbing brakes and the AC wasn't cold. We replaced the fuel pump, adjusted the brake brackets, and fixed a super small leak on the AC system. ZZ Top would be proud to cruise in this machine. We get trusted with some cool stuff! 😄
