My superbee was so much fun, it would lite up those mickey thompsons.

I had this car for many years

I took my wife to the hospital to deliver liam when her water broke in it.

In the end I built it into a all fiberglass super sleeper. That was a bit faster than i could even handle. Was good times.

Now my wife had a 64 grand prix but I loved that car so much we ended up having a half dozen or so. So when the topic of getting another fun car came up we discussed getting another one like her old ones:

The first one she had was my first restoration!

She ended liking this one the most and you can see why, it was a lot of fun, full resto with a 68 gto ram air 400 and a built th400. Had the nicest dual flowmaster exhaust ever hand crafted on it.







It made us go out and gather a few parts cars and a few more grand prix's.

So becky, liam and I stated our cases. I voted a 64gp for becky, she said she wanted a 2020 mustang gt, liam said he liked the challenger and I started thinking about my 4th fd3s. We ended up driving around looking for her mustang at a car lot. It was daunting. We found one she kinda liked but the miles where high and the lot was shady. But they had a challenger I pointed out to Becky saying liam should test drive. I thought they were the best looking new take on a 60s era car. So when she said go sit in it I said sure.

Well it was like falling in love all over again. The car's interior won me over after the being the best remake remakes exterior wise. It fits me great, looks and feels like my old mopars. I dug it. But it was a v6 auto and fuuuuuuuuck that. But becky also dug the inside and loved driving it so went all in and didn't want the mustang anymore.

So we were on the hunt for a challenger. I like the interior of the 08-10 and only a srt8 would do. However they didn't make a first edition 6 speed manual. All 5 speed auto, **** that. And 2010 has limters and recalls. So I needed a 2009 hemi orange with a black interior and a manual 6speed. Well I found one. One owner, consignment and low miles. Car was fully built but tastefully. New clutch with pedal comander, tuned computer, upgraded injectors and cam, and a few other goodies like catch cans and stuff. I bought it and went photo shoot crazy 😆









Ofcourse i took it up to the top of the peaks, which inspired me to buy new Ridetech coilovers,bmr struts and sway bar end links, ebiach sway bars and im switching the ehxaust to flowmaster super 10s in place of the resinators and going full delete on everything else again.

Liam had to get one after seeing what I got myself. Becky decided she wanted a specific color "destroyer" and we are in the hunt for that but liam wanted what I have. So we found one and I helped him buy it!


Of course he immediately modified the crap out of it with flowmasters, coilovers and strut bars, new lip and spoiler and tires and rims like any 18yr old under my influence would do. 😁

Now the spots filled and everything has a place to be and space to work on it!

So becky says she wants the 10ae and thinks liam should take over the rhd 2jz rocket bunny and we could all have an rx7 if I just put them together.


So me and the Chad got back to it. Got it back up in the air and got the coolers and pw steering lines on, etc. Double checked it all.

Then i got the trans together and on the engine.

Fits like a glove and i stsrted mocking up everything!

Finally i pulled the works VSXX rims out of the box and they are 🔥

Also got the Apexi exhaust out after all these years!

It went on amazing, fits soooo nice!

Bling 🌟 ✨️

Got some rubber for those works rims


The guys at my local shop got the tires on without a smudge even couldn't be happier with them!
