FAST FISH
Xtreme Velocity Motorsports is a muscle car builder whose name is not a put-on. While there are a huge number of shops around the country with a ton of talent for fabrication, much of this fabrication is performed for cars that will hardly see a world beyond the show schedules and their trailers. So XV takes its name seriously, and it builds its cars to drive hard—on the street or on the track. In fact, the company’s reason for being is to make old Mopars drive like new sports cars, but to pull off a trick like that, you need a lot more than dead reckoning.
THE CHIEF OF NEW JERSEY
Native American Russell Youngblood is a man you’d love to powwow with. Bloomfield, New Jersey is the home and base camp for one of the coolest late-model classic Chevys you’ll ever see. Many feel that the 1994-1996 Impala SS models are to today what the 1955-1957 models were to the ’50s. Youngblood will certainly agree. His dark green-gray metallic is custom from stem to stern—so much so that we’d consider it one of a kind.
A RADICAL DRIVER
Some of the most interesting conversations around the office usually center on whether a rod built without shiny paint can be considered a finished rod or something else. There are some trendy names floating around that are often associated with these cars, but we don’t particularly think these names are appropriate or accurate for a proper description. Just because a rod has a satin finish doesn’t mean it is lacking any aspect of a finished rod. Rick Nowak’s ’48 Chevy pickup definitely falls into the latter category. As its owner and builder say, “It’s not a ratty rod; not perfect, just a radical-looking driver.”
