But You Can’t Find Parts For Those Cars….
Recently I received a call from a very nice fellow from the East coast who builds muscle cars for a living. He has a high-end shop that has a long list of cars that he’s built for his customers. One of the nicest looking, factory–correct, numbers matching Chevelle’s I’ve ever seen is among the list […]
25 Years Later, It’s The Comeback Karmann Ghia: Part 1
Before we begin with this blog post I’ll first acknowledge the obvious; I’m writing a post today about a ’73 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia and there is no way on earth it could ever be related to a muscle car. That being said, it has everything to do with the fact that that there is a MuscleCar Place, and after waiting for 25 years it’s now in my care!
Help me with an iPad app?
As I was thinking about what to write for this week’s blog I found myself thinking…and thinking…and thinking some more. That thought process is still flying around in my head, and has yet to find a place to land. After attending the EAA Oshkosh Airshow two weeks ago with my dad and kids, airplanes are […]
Allison Customs, August Update!
Well, the new web site is up and running (AllisonCustomsOnline.com). While portions of the site are still being constructed and new pictures are being added, I think the new look and feel of the site is going to make us all happier.
As far as project updates go, the 1970 Firebird is now mostly complete and back on the road for some testing and tuning. We still need to change out the door glass and the regulators, install a new hood (which hasn’t arrived yet) and of course paint the hood…….
Vacation Time: Muscle Cars and Airplanes!
This week’s blog post will be a little short as I’m trying to get everything cleared off of my to-do list before July 27. Once that day hits I am officially “off duty” until August 1…or at least only on part-time duty. July 27 is my daughter Emily’s 5th birthday, and I’m planning to take […]
When Is It The End of the Road?
This week’s blog post is going to be a bit different, as the topic is sort of muscle car related in principle, but mostly related to the fact that I get completely emotionally attached to my 4-wheeled friends. It has come time in my business that having a full-size three-quarter ton truck would make life […]
The Chevelle Build Update: A New Frame!
Since it’s been a while since my last update on the Chevelle build I thought I’d take a little time to document what has happened since I last wrote about it. In my last installments I’ve documented that: The Chevelle made it to Allison Customs in New Mexico Was disassembled and examined Required a truckload […]

The “Red Headed Stepchild”

Wayne opened his shop recently to chase a dream he’s always had and is someone I really thought you’d enjoy reading from. We’re trying something new here at The MuscleCar Place […]
