When we went live with our new site ( latemodelrestoration.com ) at the end of July 2009 there were a lot of improvements baked in, a big one was the search functionality. On the old site, I'm embarrassed to say, if you did a search for "mustang cold air kit" we returned only products that had the exact phrase somewhere in the item number...

I was driving by the local Ford dealership and the lot actually has some cars on it now compared to just 6 months ago. There were a couple of 2010 V6 Mustangs up front and one 2010 Mustang GT.

The latest color revealed for the 2010 Dodge Challenger, Plum Crazy, is one of those that's almost sure to drive future collectors wild. Even with modern paint booths...

Big Brother always wants to have control over us car guys. Kinda like the Skip Shift mechanism built in to the 94-02 Camaro & Firebird, 97-09 Corvette, 04-06 GTO, 2009-2010 Challenger , & more to the point - the 6-Speed 2010 Camaro . Being forced to shift from 1st to 4th is for the birds! Luckily, fellow car guys with brains are around &...

After I finished up the Airaid Kit, it was time to jack up the car & tackle the Hurst Shifter ! Hurst was the first to market with a 2010 Camaro Shifter , & it is a performing beauty. The Hurst Billet/Plus 2 Shifter for the 2010 Camaro SS & RS not only reduces your shift throw by a whopping 44%, it adds a classic look to the interior that...

He had already purchased an SLP Axle-Back Exhaust from us & installed it before...
