Bill Johnson Project

Bill Johnson's 1971 Spider.


Jack Mikas Project

Jack bought the car new in 1975, took it home and flared the fenders the very next day. His long term plan was to eventually drop in a Ford 5.0 V8 engine. He drove it for 30 years with the stock drive train until he saw our header and exhaust system.

We replaced the entire exhaust system on the car, improving the performance immensely. With that single upgrade Jack realized the TC potential and dropped the V8 swap plans. We replaced the stock intake with our new dual IDF manifold and EMPI 40 HDMX carburetors and upgraded the ignition system with an Marelli electronic system and e-coil.

Along with the performance upgrades, the car received our front spoiler, bumperless light kit and Hella fog lights with the headlight relay kit.


The Geoff Starns Project
We are doing a complete restoration on Geoff Starns' 1974 Spider. We'll be backdating the bumpers to 1973 style. The body and paint work is done and we have started the reassembly of the car.

Depending on the camshaft condition, a performance upgrade is a possibility. Click the picture on the left to open the photo gallery. There are 5 pictures in the gallery at this point.
