IROC Camaro and this thing needs absolutely no introduction. The heartbeat of American muscle in its era and one of those iconic builds that never gets old no matter how many years go by. Builders are still taking these to incredible places today and they deserve every bit of recognition. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you’ve got. 🔥

“Buick Roadmaster and this was the ultimate sleeper machine of the 90s disguised as the most unsuspecting family car on the road. Dad loved these and for good reason — nobody looked twice at a Roadmaster and that was exactly the point. What was hiding under that hood told a completely different story. Builders are still doing incredible things with these today and they deserve every bit of recognition. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you’ve got. 🔥

2nd Gen Eclipse and I’ll stand on this — this is arguably the best one Mitsubishi ever made. Everything that came after proved they never got back to this level. Builders are still doing incredible things with these today and they deserve every bit of recognition. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you’ve got. 🔥

Laser Cleaning machines and the question everybody in the garage is asking right now — are these actually worth the money or is this just more snake oil salesmanship with a cool laser light show attached to it. I’ve seen the videos and the results look incredible but I want to hear honest experiences from this community. Worth it or not? Drop it in the comments. 🔥

Suzuki Samurai and the debate that never gets old — was it better as a mini truck or an off roader? These things carved out a legendary place in both worlds and builders are still taking them to incredible places today. Drop your opinion in the comments and show me your build. I want to hear from this community. 🔥

Just got back from Harbor Freight and my Inside Track Club membership almost paid for itself in one trip. Free shop towels today worth $15 to $20 just for being a member. Been in the club a year now and they’re constantly throwing free stuff and extra discounts my way. If you spend any time in a garage at all this membership is a complete no brainer. Go get one and thank me later. 🔥

Tiny Trucks and the question I can’t stop asking — why don’t we see more of these imported little rigs in the states. Builders overseas are doing incredible things with these and we are genuinely missing out on one of the coolest niches in truck culture. Got one or building one? Drop it in the comments and show me what you’ve got. 🔥

Meet the Hell Kitten. Some mad scientist looked at a SmartCar and a Hellcat motor and decided the world needed to know what happens when you combine the two. The answer is wildly amusing and completely unhinged from every angle. Builder said hold my b**r and created something nobody asked for and everybody needed. Great job to the builder on this one.

Cartoon Paint jobs and this has become one of my absolute favorite styles within the past year. I genuinely cannot get enough of these and every single one I find stops me cold. The talent and vision behind pulling these off at a high level deserves every bit of recognition. Builders and artists drop yours in the comments and show me what you’ve got. 🔥

Jacked up trucks — or as I’m officially calling them Civilian Monster Trucks. These things are built for one purpose and that’s to own every road they touch and make everybody else feel small doing it. Builders are going stupid with lifts, wheels, and attitude and I am here for every single inch of it. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you’ve got. 🔥
