A RestoMods Garage Update and Tour!

December 10, 2025

Welcome back to the shop! If the smell of gasoline and fresh paint is our love language, you’re definitely in the right place. We’re tearing into some of the most anticipated builds, unveiling a stunning new classic, and making final adjustments on two of our most powerful giveaway cars yet. From a pristine ’57 Chevy to a Hellcat-powered Charger, here’s an exclusive look at everything happening inside the RestoMods garage.

The 1975 RamCharger Is Ready for its New Owner

We are thrilled to announce that the 1975 RamCharger, our previous YouTube giveaway build, is finally starting up for the first time ever! This truck is a beast and a true testament to rugged resto-modding. The hard work is done, and the moment of truth is fast approaching. The winner, Dino, is scheduled to come to the shop on January 6th, 2026 to make the ultimate decision: taking home this one-of-a-kind 4x4 or opting for the $35,000 cash alternative. Stay tuned to see which path Dino chooses!

New Arrival: The 1957 Chevy Bel Air

It’s been a while, Chevy fans! It’s hard to believe we haven’t given away a Chevrolet since RM2, and now that we're on our 32nd giveaway, it's time to bring back a Tri-Five icon. A pristine 1957 Chevy Bel Air has just landed in the garage, and visually, it's already a stunner, all the classic angles are present, with hints of tasteful chrome.

Under the hood, this beauty boasts a 454 Chevy big block that runs and drives, paired with a classic 4-speed Muncie transmission. While the driveline has been upgraded with headers, A/C, and a polished core support, we’ve kept the exterior mods to a minimum.

Future Plans: To make this Bel Air a true RestoMods standard, we are upgrading the front accessory drive for improved aesthetics and dialing up the suspension and braking systems. We are using RideTech to install their advanced Air Ride system featuring Shockwave airbags and handheld controls, along with a 4-link rear setup. We’ll ditch the current GM discs and go full-force with Wilwood big brakes all the way around. Inside, we plan to keep the classic contoured bench seat but modernize the cabin with a Retro Sound system, complete with a cool clock featuring analog hands.

The RM32 1969 Ford Fastback Mustang

The centerpiece of our current sweepstakes is the iconic RM32 1969 Ford Fastback Mustang. This build is the ultimate fusion of classic muscle and modern performance.

Painted in a classy Guard Green (a Ford F-150 color), the heart of this machine is a potent Blueprint 347 Stroker engine, punching out an impressive 420 horsepower, backed by a crisp Tremec TKX five-speed manual. It handles like a modern sports car thanks to a Total Control Products (TCP) coil-over conversion and stops on a dime with Wilwood 6-piston disc brakes on all four corners. Inside, the Fastback features custom TMI Mach 1 style seating and modern comforts like Dakota Digital HDX gauges and Classic Auto Air A/C.

You can still enter to win this legendary Fastback, plus $50,000 cash! For the full build breakdown and specs, check out our official RM32 build sheet.

RM33: 1970 HEMI Charger

Our next giveaway car, the RM33 1970 HEMI Charger, is officially home and undergoing fine-tuning. This car turned heads at the SEMA Show, where it debuted for the first time after SV Body & Paint repainted it to a sleek and deep black finish.

This powerhouse boasts a monstrous Blueprint Engines 426 Gen-3 Hemi delivering 650 HP, paired with a Tremec TKX 5-speed transmission. It rides on QA1 suspension, stops with Wilwood brakes, and rolls on period-correct American Racing wheels. This is one serious Mopar, and we're getting it perfectly dialed in for the next and 33rd giveaway at RestoMods.

Shakedown: The NORI Green 1967 Chevelle

Fresh from its SEMA feature, the gorgeous 1967 Chevelle has barely seen the light of day, or the freeway. Finished in a premium and classy Nori Green, this car is powered by a smooth and drivable Blueprint 427 LS. It is fully complete and we're currently putting it through shakedown testing to work out any kinks (we found a small oil leak we're tackling now). Once those shakedown miles are complete, this Chevelle will be ready for its debut on the open road. Stay tuned because this 1967 Chevelle will be up for grabs in a future RestoMods giveaway.

The 1968 Charger Hellcat Swap

We’re pushing the envelope with this 1968 Charger, sourced and purchased from our friends over at Mopars5150. While body and paint are still ahead, the initial work is deep; the entire engine bay is done, and it sits on a full QA1 suspension with a 4-link setup.

The plan for this build is massive: a Hellcat engine swap paired with an 8HP automatic transmission. This is the same technologically advanced automatic system found in the newest M3s, capable of handling extreme power while offering a refined driving experience. We’re targeting a high-end interior with features like power windows, creating a powerful but comfortable "grand touring" machine, perfect for long-haul fun where a stick shift might be a handful. Expect to see significant progress on this project over the next six months. Everybody loves a 1968 Charger!

NEXT PROJECT: The 1970 Roadrunner

Finally, we’re thrilled to introduce a car we’ve never built before: a 1970 Roadrunner! Adrian has this body ready for paint, featuring a flawlessly smooth engine bay. This project is being built completely in-house with the goal to maintain its old-school heart with new-school tech. We're dropping in a classic 440 engine but upgrading it with a new part we’re excited about: a 6-pack fuel injection system. Coupled with a 5-speed transmission to come, this Roadrunner promises a perfect blend of vintage muscle performance and modern drivability.
