Magnatude

January 21, 2011

We have at Carolla One Studios Jerry Magnuson’s award winning a 1932 Muroc roadster, the Magnatude. This car has a Marcel body, with finishing touches by Chip Foose. It features a Magnacharged Chevrolet LS1, 6 Speed gearbox and a polished Kugel independent rear end. Jerry Magnuson did a bunch of the work as well, including the hidden headlights as well as many other details on the build.

FrankenMiata

October 8, 2010

Team Eyesore Racing brings down the “FrankenMiata”, their 24Hrs of LeMONS winning racer. This is a supercar of a different nature, faster then an a a 2009 Porsche Carrera S Cabriolet and the car cost less then the Porsche oil change service. We have a rare interview with Team Eyesore to find out more about the current incarnation of the car, which is currently themed as Star Trek Enterprise… warp drives and all.

Special thanks to Dave, Sara, Sarah, and Kyle for bringing down the car and coming in character, that’s dedication!
