Performance And Kustom Build Shorts
Whether it’s classic iron or a late model machine, Karl Kustoms offers parts and accessories for your favorite ride. But did you know we also have a full machine shop and do restorations? As die-hard gearheads, we love to get our hands dirty on everything from engine builds to frame-off restorations. We’ve got a professional upholstery team and even a specialty tire shop to help you wil all your custom needs.
Below are some videos of several rara builds that have come through our shop. Not only do they show some of the work we’ve done, but they display the skills of our talented artisans.
Sports Car Love!
Just check out the sports cars in this video! First, we see a C6 Corvette Grand Sport with a chrome supercharger parked next to a Mustang GT. Then it’s on to the legendary Shelby Daytona Coupe, a continuation model of the original car that dominated sports car racing in the 1960s. That’s followed by a new white C8 Corvette decked out with black rims and low-profile tires. Finally, we see the detail of the C8’s engine bay which is all black with blue accents.
Custom GM 502 On The Dyno
Next, let’s look at this custom 502 V8 from GM Performance. It’s going in a customer’s 1968 Camaro and boasts an impressive 638 horsepower and 688 lb-feet of torque. The setup uses a Holley Sniper and sounds incredible as it races to the redline.
At Karl Kustoms, we not only sell crate engines, but we can help you build your dream engine. We can also put together the right upgrades to improve performance and fit your budget. And when it’s ready, we’ll put it on our dyno and let it rip!
1969 Lincoln In The Paint Booth
There’s something very satisfying than seeing your project roll out of the paint booth. It really does make all of the work worthwhile. The pros in our paint shop finished this 1969 Lincoln in a color called Presidential Blue, and we can transform the look of your ride, doing everything from paint and bodywork to upholstery and final assembly.
1959 Corvette Frame Swap – Art Morrison Chassis, LS Connect and Cruise
What’s bigger than a frame-off restoration? How about a brand-new frame and restoration! We worked on almost every part of this 1959 Corvette, including swapping out the frame and drivetrain for an Art Morrison chassis with an LS Connect and Cruise package. The end results speak for themselves. Not only does the Corvette retain its timeless, classic looks, but with the new frame and Connect and Cruise powertrain, it’s ready to hit the road.
