Project Car Updates on the V8 Radio Podcast
Getting the Galaxie back on the road!
On this episode of the V8 Radio Podcast, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste catch up on some updates on Kevin's 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 XL convertible from the V8 Speed & Resto Shop. You may recall how the car broke the transmission on the way to the 2019 Drive In Cruise event, but it's back on the road today. (Kevin is kind-of like the plumber with the leaky pipes...) OF COURSE, there is Automotive Trivia and some other nonsense, making for a well-optioned episode of V8 Radio!

This 1947 Willys CJ2A has not run in quite a while, so the owner brought it to our shop to have the V8 team return it safely to the road. It's a cool old rig for sure!

1957 Ford Thunderbird 5.0 Coyote V8 and Chassis Swap at V8 Speed and Resto Shop Photo Gallery
This cool 1957 Ford Thunderbird came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop in tribute to the owner's Father who owned several of these cool Birds over the years. Today, we're going to make this one more powerful and reliable for years of trouble-free cruising. The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team will be installing a custom chassis, complete with Wilwood brakes, coil-over shocks, and upgrade the sway bars for better handling. The 'Bird will have far more Thunder thanks to a new Ford Racing 5.0 V8 cranking out 430 HP and over 400 lbs.-ft. of torque. Additionally, we're installing a 6-speed automatic transmission spinning that steam back to a new 9" rear axle. Upgraded audio and lighting will make it even more fun to drive. Follow along as we make the upgrades on this slick '57 Thunderbird!

1963 Imperial Crown Convertible Maintenance at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop
This is a very cool car, a 1963 Imperial Crown Convertible. It's one of approximately 513 built, and it's showing less than 28,000 miles. It's powered by a 413 Wedge V8 connected to a pushbutton automatic transmission. We love the space-age Virgil Exner "Forward Look" styling, with cool details like the headlight pods and the "sqaure" steering wheel. The current owner has known the car since he was a kid, and knows the original owning family. It's been sitting for a number of years, and it came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop to be brought back to safe driving condition.
