Car Craft’s 2016 Summer Nationals is a must-attend for all Street Machiners, but it is especially so for the top professional street machine builders. Happening this July 15 – 17 at Wisconsin State Fair Park, some of the nation’s top builders will be showing off their new projects and latest components in the Pro Builders Shootout, presented by Baileigh Industrial. Here’s just some of what you can expect see.
Speedkore, from Port Washington, Wisconsin, will be displaying their 1650 hp 1970 Dodge Charger they call “Tantrum” with the insane DOHC 9.0-liter Mercury Marine V8. Yes, you need to see this beast, and find out more about the 2800 lb-ft of torque this monster cranks out.
Ring Brothers will be bringing their latest build, the half-million dollar red 1965 Mustang of Michael Schmalz. Powered by a Wegner Motorsports 427ci Ford/Tremec 6-speed combo, it’s the type of build the Ring Brothers are known for.
Fast Freddies Rod Shop from nearby Eau Claire, will have on hand Don Boxx’s titanium 1953 Chevy Pickup packing a 500hp LS3 / Tremec 6-speed combo and some clean custom body mods, riding on 20- and 18-inch rollers.
Rad Rides by Troy will have on display the factory Hemi 1966 Plymouth Belvedere featured in the latest HOT ROD magazine. Though you would think it’s a resto, though it’s still Gen-II Hemi-powered, it is far from stock.
Kevin Oeste’s V8 Speed Shop is back again this year and has put together a killer 1969 Camaro convertible they’ll have in their display in Wisconsin, packing a 700hp RHS LS7 aluminum engine spinning a TCI six-speed automatic.
Schwartz Performance, from Woodstock, Illinois, is coming back with another 1969 Mustang; this one is the silver Raybestos give-away car. Somehow they managed to cram a 5.0 Liter Coyote engine under the hood, and you can check out the install and ask how to fit one into your next project while attending the Summer Nationals.
Musclecar Restorations will have on hand a Hemi-powered 1969 Super Bee belonging to customer Greg Miller. Known for their incredible Mopar restos, this silver Bee is anything but a restoration with a mini-tubbed rear, Wilwood disc brakes, and custom, red leather interior.
The Custom Shop is bringing an all-wheel-drive 1968 Camaro. Powered by a 376 LSX, it utilizes a 4L70E AWD automatic transmission with lots of Trailblazer goodies used for the suspension, it also features some trick body mods to accept the 20- and 19-inch steamroller tires.
