Power is nothing without control — this old saying certainly rings true when it comes to working on cars. Our friends at All Chevy Performance already handled the power aspect of their 1971 Camaro project by installing a modern GM 5.3L LC9 V8, but the control side of the equation still needed to be addressed. This led them to update the Camaro's steering, pedals, and shifter so it'll be able to turn, accelerate, stop, and change gears smoothly. We were happy to assist with some much-needed parts from the Classic Industries Camaro catalog.

There’s nothing worse than hitting the road in your high-performance Chevy and being assaulted by excess heat and vibration as you lay down the miles. Between adding an upgraded driveline and high-flow exhaust, the amount of heat generated has a direct connection through the floorpan.

The 1960-66 Chevy C10 pickup came standard with a small rear window at the back of the cab. However, buyers who wanted improved visibility and a more "open" appearance could select a big window as an optional upgrade. For big-window trucks, the GM assembly line stamped a larger hole in the outside of the cab and welded on a matching interior window panel before installing weatherstrip and glass. Today, many C10 owners choose to upgrade their small window trucks with a big window conversion. Old Anvil Speed Shop recently published a video that shows each step of the process.

"Get used to my tail lights, because they're the only thing you'll be able to see in this race." This bit of friendly trash talk has been used in the muscle car community for as long as we can remember, but there's more truth to it than the joke implies. Whether it's in traffic or on the drag strip, the rear of your vehicle is often the first and last thing people see. So, it makes sense to keep it looking good. Knowing this, the guys at All Chevy Performance recently restored the bumper and tail panel on their '77 Nova project car with parts from Classic Industries.

Even for those of us who love to take on DIY restoration projects, there are certain tasks that can seem a little too daunting. Rewiring a car is one such project, since it's all too easy to get tangled up in a rat's nest of loose wires or frustrated while troubleshooting connections. Thankfully, companies such as American Autowire have simplified the process by providing complete wiring harness update kits for classic cars. In a recent issue of All Chevy Performance, the team shows how to rewire a second-gen 1971 Camaro, plus install lights and a new battery.

Author's Note: This is a Classic Industries team member's car. As of this writing, we've logged over 900 miles on our Factory Five Racing Mk4 Cobra roadster replica. Since this is the very same sports car that is the subject of the book that I wrote, How To Build Cobra Kit Cars + Buying Used, we thought you would enjoy reading about our first test drive of the FFR Mk4 after Dad and I constructed this little road burner.

An amazing transformation took place at the 2024 Grand National Roadster Show. The build team at Orange County Hot Rods turned a bone stock 1969 Chevy Camaro 350 into a pro touring, canyon carving masterpiece in less than 3 days! What's more, this talented crew of craftsmen made it look easy, and that's with a crowd of automotive enthusiasts watching the less than 72-hour spectacle throughout the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday event. Watch the exciting video and read on to see just how this five-man crew of car craftsmen completed this challenging Camaro pro touring project.

When it comes to restoring a classic car, there are different schools of thought. Some restorers prefer to keep as much original sheetmetal as possible, which usually requires repair and patching of rusty or damaged areas. Others prefer buying original-style reproduction panels, which greatly reduces labor and ensures every seam and contour is where it should be. The good news is that Classic Industries caters to both — we have patch panels for original sheetmetal and a huge selection of reproduction body panels, too. A recent article from our friends at Modern Rodding shows both options in action on their 1955 Chevy restoration project.

Every gearhead knows the importance of regular oil changes, but when was the last time you considered the condition of your vehicle's fuel system? Over the years, sediment and debris can accumulate inside the gas tank, and while the fuel filter should stop it from entering the engine, it can cause other kinds of havoc. Such was the case for All Chevy Performance's 1977 Nova project — rust inside the tank had clogged up the fuel gauge sending unit, causing the car to run out of gas unexpectedly.
