Phil’s Road Runner came to us for a number of jobs including the fitting of a Sure-Grip diff, a transmission and brake rebuild, alteration of the roll bar and wiring. The heads were also removed to repair some broken header studs.

Mark brought his new toy over for us to install power steering and power brakes. A few electrical faults were also fixed.
The Billadeau ’70 Plymouth GTX
Dave’s pride and joy was retired from racing in 2012 and taken back to a near factory original state. The car was refitted with a numbers matching 440 Six Pack with cast manifolds, which made 417hp and 504ft-lbs of torque. The roll cage was removed, fuel system taken back to stock and a steel hood with an Air Grabber scoop was fitted.

Paul’s Plymouth Road Runner
The original Road Runner race car from the mid 80’s returns! Pure nostalgia. Having been back halfed and caged by Hauser/Webster, the car came to us for paint, wiring and a rebuild as a long term project.
The bulkhead was painted, the front suspension re-bushed, the brakes rebuilt and all parts were powder coated.
The graphics were painted by Byran Whitfield and the signwriting done by Craig Ainge. Most of the wiring was complete and the 440-1 heads were ported. The 540ci engine parts were ready for assembly…
After one last push the Road Runner was finally back in the hands of Paul. This long, steady rebuild project was ready to race in the 2012 season, Full Revs!
Jason & Tracey’s ’69 Plymouth Belvedere
Jason and Tracey’s Belvedere was fitted with a 6 point roll bar and new front seats, upholstered to match the rears, with 3″ harnesses. The engine bay was rewired and Auto Meter gauges were installed, along with new gears, new shifter and a new fuel system.
Mojo’s ’70 Plymouth Duster
This Duster was built and owned by Dave back in the 1990s. It’s had a few different owners since Dave sold it on but Mojo’s added some nice touches to the car while still keeping the car period.
Mojo brought the car in to us for a new 493ci engine. Based on a 440 block, it featured Indy SR heads and a roller cam, and was outputting around 600hp. The car had run a best ET of 10.1 seconds.
’65 Plymouth Fury III
This 1965 Fury III featured a 318, auto transmission and weld wheels. The car was bought in and sold on after wiring and several other small jobs were completed.
Richard’s ’69 Plymouth Road Runner
After suffering fuel pump problems, Richard called us for help. We solved this issue then a little engine tune up was completed. A battery charging problem was also sorted.
Further work to the Road Runner included a Billadeau built 440 Six Pack with ported heads, forged pistons and Scat rods. It produced 475hp on the dyno, with 530ft-lb of torque. The rear axle was also rebuilt. As of May 2010, Richard had run a personal best of 11.8 sec on the strip.
Wayne’s ’64 Plymouth Valiant
Wayne’s convertible Valiant first came in for wiring for an MOT. It has since returned, this time for a rebuild to the 360 engine.
Dave Billadeau’s ’64 Plymouth Fury
Bought in as a new street/strip project for the 2010 season, this 1964 Plymouth Fury was lined up for the full Billadeau treatment.
The body was stripped back ready for a panel by panel, full bare metal respray. Once the bodywork was complete, the installation of a Dana 60 followed. The motor was the next stage – a cross rammed 426 HEMI.
