'66
Cad
This isn’t your “run of the mill” Cadillac, there are so many mods done to this car that it’s hard to list them all. To top off list, it’s a hot-rodder’s dream car too. A 500 inch Cad motor, TH400 trans, 9” Ford rearend and 4-wheel Wilwood disk brakes all come together to make this Cad more than just a cruiser. All of the body mods are meant to be as subtle as possible, while still standing out in a sea of so called custom Cads.
'37 Ford
Building a “pre-war” car in such a way that hasn’t been beaten to death is just about impossible, so we decided to keep it clean and simple and just rub a little bit of modern on it. This car took first place in “pre-war mild custom” at the ’07 Grand National Roadster Show.
Nemesis
'66 Chevelle
Don’t let this car fool you. As clean and simple as it may look at first glace, chances are that you haven’t seen a muscle car with this much work. Under the stock, unassuming, sheet metal is a 100% TIG welded 4130 chromoly tube chassis, fully independent suspension, a 650+ hp supercharged LS6 and a Tremec T-56 6 speed manual transmission. On the dyno this car put a conservative 500hp to the tires! To make sure that gear banging is done in comfort, there is a JL Audio sound system, power leather seats and a Vintage Air heating and AC.
'61
Cad
This car is as simple as it looks. Aside from the air bags, a fancy green paint job and some zebra print interior is all that make this simple cruiser an eye catcher. So much so that Hemmings Motor news used it in their Custom car calendar in 2000.
The
Roach
This car was literally built out of crap lying around the shop. And whatever we didn’t have at Bio, we found lying around friend’s shops or yards. It was built in 3 weeks and cost a grand total of $750 to build and that included having to buy a motor and DMV fees. Strangely enough, this car got more looks than any other vehicle that we have built. Who knew that cool could be had for so little money?
Nash
A simple build, but a cool one nonetheless. All this car needed was a suspension and drive train upgrade. The late model LT motor and 4L60E trans made this oddball as reliable as a new car and the air bag suspension made it ride just as nice.
The
Bike
This bike started out as a simple throw together project like the roach, but ended up as a full-on custom motorcycle. There is so much small detail work on this bike that is nearly impossible to list it all. It is powered by a ’76 Honda CL360 motor and has early Binelli Panther forks with all of the “stuff” machined off of them. Other than that, the bike is a smorgasbord of pieces and parts from this and that, along with many hand built pieces, to bring it all together into what Max had dubbed UNKONOATSUMARI meaning “shit pieces” in Japanese.
