Season 112 of 12 Episodes

  • The guys have fun as they install a 4L60-E overdrive transmission into a 1969 Chevy El Camino, drop a 700-horsepower blown small block into a 1974 Jaguar XJ12, get TIG welding lessons, and do smoky burnouts at every opportunity.

  • A 2010 Camaro SS goes from 420 to 575 horsepower after Finnegan's modifications; Freiburger and Finnegan install a new fuel system in a '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser for a long journey.

  • Mike gets tips for strengthening sheet metal using a bead roller, then he and Dave work on the Roadkill '73 Chevy C30 ramp truck. They eliminate some electrical gremlins, plus they're looking to pick up more power on the dyno.

  • Kirk Brown stops by the shop to school about sand casting hot rod parts.

  • Revamping the Muscle Truck, a 1974 Chevrolet C10; replacing the rapidly deteriorating particleboard bed floor with new oak slats and bolting on a new pair of aftermarket front fenders; covering the step notch in the rear frame rails with sheet metal.

  • A cost-effective modification of suspension, steering components and disc brakes turns a 1965 Pontiac LeMans into a cruising wonder.

  • David Freiburger's Dodge Super Bee project car adds a fourth gear and a few extra in between its three-speed 727 trans.

  • Freiburger installs a single stage nitrous oxide system into a Crusher Camaro, hoping to push it into 9-second times at the drag strip.

  • A road trip revealed the good and bad traits of Finnegan's '55 Bel Air, and now it's time to exorcize some demons; they'll tune the EFI, lower the front suspension and make a few more tweaks before heading out to the drag strip.

  • A suspension modification and new steering components are all it takes for the Ridetech crew to turn a 1969 Chevy El Camino into a driving marvel.

  • A series of El Camino upgrades gives it a heart transplant with an aluminum crate engine with 525 horsepower.

  • Mike ventures to Sonny Leonard Racing Engines in Lynchburg, Virginia, to assist in assembling his new engine, a 771ci Chevy big block.
