Hot Rod Garage

Three cars that desperately need redemption get out to the track; Tony and Lucky dig into a '70 El Camino, a '70 Duster and a ratty '79 Camaro to get them track ready and then see what they can do.

Lucky and Tony pick up a complete working 2004 Mustang GT; their goal is to turn it into a fantastic car with better suspension and brakes.

The AMC V-8 has long been seen as a strong engine that isn't very durable; Tony and Lucky build up a 401ci power plant that will take any abuse they can throw at it, keep spinning happily and make killer power along the way.

The T-Type, Grand National and Turbo Regal were 1980s monsters with turbocharged V6 engines; Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa buy the cheapest turbo Buick they can find and piece together a 1984 T-Type, overcoming rust, corrosion and previous repairs.

The HRG director picks up a '71 Sedan DeVille; Tony and Lucky raid the Drift This limo for a 6.0, plus other add-ons.

Tony and Lucky fastest project ever is the 1,000-horsepower 2006 Chevy Impala SS with an entire second V8 drivetrain crammed into the back, but the front engine needs work, so the guys pull it out and use this chance to upgrade everything.

Lucky Costa gets the chance to decide what to build and chooses a mashup of a 1927 Ford truck body on a mostly 1929 Ford Model T frame, powered by a small-block Chevy.

The C10 short-bed needed a serious power-up; it's time to cram some big power into this killer street truck; Tony and Lucky are stuck on opposite coasts; they aren't going to let that stop them from getting it done.

Tony Angelo scoops up a high-mileage 1999 six-speed manual Corvette for $7,000, and it is begging for upgrades; Lucky Costa tears out the well-used 5.7 liter LS1 engine and upgrades it with a complete top-end kit before taking it down the drag strip.

Putting a Corvette C5 through some new, sideways paces; the 2000 Corvette which received a boost to 500 hp to rip down a straightaway now sees Tony Angelo and his buddy Mike Edwards modifying it to handle the turns.

Even on separate coasts, the hosts have a full-on supercar battle; Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa each get six grand to buy and modify a car; Tony grabs a wrecked Mercedes-Benz E 55, and Lucky picks up a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Twin Turbo.

Tony and Lucky put together a cheap rear-end package for our 1973 Gen-3 Hemi-swapped Plymouth Duster. Once the rear is built, the guys swap it into the Duster, and then drive it across LA to the 1/8 mile track at Irwindale.

Tony's 170,000-mile, 260-hp, five-speed Ford Mustang GT lacks in the muscle department.
