Hot Rod Garage

The crew is losing the shop, so they have one last project: a push truck for their Land Speed Roadster; a '57 Chevy panel truck is the perfect base to clear the shop's shelves.

Derek's Roadworthy Rescue'd Trans Am may have been destroyed before, but the crew is trying to make it right; enter 455 upgrades for power, a T-56 for shifts, and EFI for all of those hairpin turns.

An all-wheel-drive sport truck should really have all of its wheels driving; that's the goal as Alex and Lucky upgrade a Typhoon trans and everything from the transfer case forward, bulletproofing parts until the next one fails.

Alex and Lucky set out to answer if a dim-a-dozen Beetle can be called a hot rod as they take a well-worn Beetle and start it down the road to a Cal-look cruiser; they're cheap, easy to modify and have parts support galore.

The '32 Roadster land speed car is finally starting to take shape, and it's ready to take its maiden voyage down the dry lake bed of El Mirage; that is, of course, if the lake bed stays dry.

Lucky Costa and Alex Taylor join forces to build hot rods in every shape imaginable; from the American RWD V-8s that would be expected to oddball and niche performers that wouldn't, they build them fast, build them cool and build them right.

"Roadkill Nights" is back, and so is the team's '55 Savoy; the team is in Pontiac, Mich. for all the street-legal drag racing action on Woodward in the Big Tire class; that means faster cars, better drivers and a need to step up the game.

The team's long disappointed Grand National has finally earned its keep at Hot Rod Garage; with whiff after whiff at the dragstrip, the team has pulled out all the stops, called a few friends and finally got to the bottom of what's holding them back.

After years of living a polarizing existence with an electric motor, Alex and Lucky have been given the go-ahead to bring Project X back to its glory days as a gas-huffing machine; there's no better way than a simple 1,000-hp crate 632 from GM.

Alex and Lucky explore new territory in the world of land speed racing and continue down a well-worn path with the Bonemaro; more than the cars, this one is all about goals, setting personal targets and breaking personal bests.

Last year's newly minted annual holiday, HRG Day, was a wild success for everyone but the Bonemaro, the Crown Hic and the Savoy; all three came home hurt, and Hot Rod detectives Alex and Lucky are on the case to find out why.

The '92 Typhoon is back; rod knock will be a thing of the past as Alex and Lucky refresh the drivetrain and pit it head to head against today's top-of-the-line people-mover.
