Hot Rod Garage presented by Lincoln Tech is back with a brand new season! Out of all the cool projects they built last year, there was still one important thing missing: a shop truck. Tony and Lucky went out and bought a 1966 Ford F100, but it’s a total dog and really a slouch of a truck. So the guys also got their hands on a 2007 Crown Victoria cop car from the guys at cruiser connections. Why? Because it’s built on an incredible platform with a ton of modern components. In this episode they show how to perform the ultimate body swap and build a solid budget shop truck. How will it turn out? Tune in to find out!
In this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, watch our hosts, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa, finish the build of their new, ultimate shop truck: the Crown Hick! They took a minty 1966 Ford F100 truck body and laid it onto the frame and mechanicals of a 2007 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor that has some serious suspension and exhaust upgrades. Once the guys get it all bolted into place and integrate steering, brakes, and throttle, they apply a Holley EFI system and MSD transmission controller to make it all run! Once together, they take it out for a serious shakedown to show off all the modern performance that is now hiding under that 1966 F100!
In this episode of Hot Rod Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa decide to go with the wind in their hair in this 1965 Pontiac Lemans convertible. The only problem is that it’s half rust and half dirt, and this thing needs a bunch of sheetmetal repair. Watch the guys replace most of the rear end of the car, and once that is all handled, they install a full frame bracing kit and make the underside of this car WAY prettier than the top side.
In this episode of Hot Rod Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa get the #HRGLEMANSTER back in action with a complete QA1 suspension system, and fire up 326 with the new Holley Terminator Stealth EFI system. Starting with our freshly rust-free body, and completely beefed up frame, watch these two guys install a complete QA1 suspension front to back, and then install Holley’s new carburetor look-a-like fuel injection system and hit the road in just a couple of days!
On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa take their trusty shop truck, the Crown Hick—a 1966 Ford F-100 sitting on a 2007 Crown Victoria complete chassis—and add boost for more power! Watch the guys install a Vortech V3 centrifugal blower and add more than 100 hp. To get all this new power to the rear wheels, Tony and Lucky install a Ford Performance Trac-Lok differential to double their smoky burnout fun!
The Drift ’Cuda is back! Project #fishtail, Tony Angelo’s dream drift muscle car build, gets some suspension upgrades and sees some track time on this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech! We made the trek to Angelo’s home shop outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he and Lucky Costa modify the ’Cuda that was built fast for SEMA, installing custom NASCAR-style sway bars and different-rate springs and getting it track-ready. After this show car is dialed, Angelo and Costa take it over to Old Bridge Township Raceway Park to spend a day on the drift course!
On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, watch Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa swap in a junkyard-fresh 5.3L on our low-buck drag project, the #bonemaro—and perform some critical upgrades along the way. After that, it’s back out to the track, where Angelo tries to wrangle this sketchy pile of used parts on a 10.99-second-or-lower run. Over the last year, we’ve attempted to run a 10-second quarter-mile in the #bonemaro, and last time we hit the track with all the right parts, the 5.3L LS truck engine exploded!
On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, watch Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa try to stuff 10 pounds of engine into 5 pounds of car. Instead of the usual HOT ROD tact of doubling or tripling the horsepower of a Mustang 5.0, the guys decided to take the 200(ish) hp of this 1986 Ford V-8 and cram it into a tiny 1964 MGB ex-racer. Different route, but same terrifying results! Power to weight is the name of the game.
On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, watch Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa transform a banged-up 1987 Chevrolet G10 work van into a 1977 Boogie Van clone! After completely changing the body over to a 1977, Costa installs a front-end suspension drop, while Angelo and special guest Lindsay Ross install a recently uncovered set of original ’80s bubble windows. A complete set of heads and side pipes give it some growl, and the guys finish it off with a seriously radical custom graphics package.
On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, Lucky Costa’s personal ’66 Chevelle gets major upgrades to its 6.0L LS truck engine. Tony Angelo and Costa install a set of AFR heads and a Magnuson supercharger on this high-mileage, well-worn engine to really wake up the powerplant. Without any upgrades to the 100,000-plus-mile bottom end, the #66ChevHell puts down more than 500 whp!
On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln tech, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa take their ’65 LeMans project and turn it into a road-trip hauler. Already having upgraded the entire chassis and suspension, the guys turn their attention to highway speeds. To make the LeMans eat up long stretches of road at modern highway speeds (and then some), they install a Gearstar 700R4 and a Currie bolt-in 9-inch rearend. When it’s all together, it’s time to hit the road from L.A. to Denver to the Lincoln Tech campus where the LeMans body will be worked and painted to a killer shine!
On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa dive into the red-hot C10 truck market and show you how to build a killer shortbed truck on a longbed budget! Watch the guys cut, shorten, and weld a longbed C10 into a sweet shorty using a Brothers Trucks kit and bed parts. Then they turn their new shortbed C10 into a killer handling machine using the brand-new QA1 complete suspension system.
