Like countless Mustang success stories before it, this tale harkens back to adolescence and the countless hours so many generations of young gearheads spent staring at posters of fast cars hanging on their bedroom walls.
“I would have done anything for a Terminator Cobra, but my parents thought they were too expensive and too fast, and so did the salesman at the dealer, so before my first semester at Universal Technical Institute (UTI), my parents convinced me to lease a V6 New Edge...instead...

It’s no secret that rebuilding an engine or transmission requires using specialty tools and plenty of expertise, but few gearheads consider the complexity of rebuilding a turbocharger. Modern turbos are made with much more than seals, a turbine, and housing. These pieces must also be assembled with ultra-tight, precise tolerances. If they aren’t, catastrophe could be imminent.
If you have any doubts, consider this fact: Modern turbochargers for diesel engines can spin up to 150,000 rpm, veloc...

Larry Moore is familiar with sacrifice; after a tour in Iraq, some bad luck with project cars, and more recently, hard-hitting health news that would bring even the strongest to their knees, he knows a thing or two about being dealt a hard hand—but you’d never know it talking to him.
“Nothing is a given and nothing is guaranteed, we have to live life to the fullest, enjoy every moment, and realize that the automotive bond that joins us shouldn’t be taken for granted,” Moore said with a smile....

For over a century, mining has been an economic cornerstone of Montana; in fact, the state motto, Oro y Plata is Spanish for gold and silver, which refers to two of the precious minerals that gave rise to the state’s’ nickname, The Treasure State.
But we’d argue Montana has been hiding an even greater treasure; a serpent as midnight as obsidian with a heart of silver. Rumor has it the serpent’s onyx coat is so dark and so mesmerizing that countless men have been lost in their reflection—it’s ...

This is a tale of victory, not defeat; but it didn’t start that way. In fact, this story begins with a sobering topic most motorcyclists will confront but few will speak of.
Try as we might, no matter how hard we attempt to halt his progress, there’s no avoiding Father Time. Months turn to years, and almost suddenly our youthful minds share space with reflexes founded on training rather than lightning-fast synapses. The strength we once took for granted has now taken a back seat to aches and ...

Welcome to Ground Zero V2.0 for Project Sleeper Status, our 2000 Buick Regal GS project that has been anything but easy. Astute readers will remember our goal from day-one was to build a sleeper W-body that could run in the 11s and effortlessly commute to work, all while flying under the radar.

While an 11.99 or faster in a gutted car would have been much eas...

Life has a way of sapping the once-unrelenting passion gearheads have for our project cars. One day we wake up and realize that weeks have become years and the small setback we intended to fix the following weekend silently sidelined the build for several seasons.

Thankfully, despite all odds, the tale of this 1995 Cobra doesn’t end how you might think. Mel Josafat not only managed to keep his beloved Cobra through the ups and downs of life, but he eventually built the car of his dreams thank...
