PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Flaming River’s Microsteer Tilt Column for 1967-68 Camaro
Imagine yourself behind the wheel of your vintage Camaro, cruising the streets with the perfect blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance. That dream becomes a reality with the Microsteer Tilt Column. But what sets this beauty apart? Let’s talk about the Microsteer Power Assist feature, a game-changer that takes your driving to new heights.
A REAL NINE-SECOND STREET SLEEPER
One look at a car is generally all it takes to determine pretty much what it’s made of—whether it’s fast, incredibly slow or falls safely somewhere in between. There are always typical small details that reveal a car’s true identity, whether it’s a huge exhaust, healthy underpinnings, aggressive rubber on wide wheels, a large, efficient cooling system, a well-laid-out induction with appropriate fuel delivery, sturdy engine mounts and/or mounting, the size and scope of the ignition, as well as the inlet air system.
Broncos Storm Pigeon Forge
The 3rd Annual Great Smoky Mountain Bronco® Stampede thundered into Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on August 15–16, 2025, and for two days straight the LeConte Center was wall-to-wall Broncos. Old, new, stock, modified, lifted—if it had a Bronco badge, it had a place in the herd.

Product Spotlight: Dynamat Xtreme Bulk Pack
Kill the Noise. Tighten the Feel. Level-up the Build.
If your ride still sounds like a tin can at speed, it’s time to get serious. Dynamat Xtreme isn’t a luxury add-on — it’s a foundational upgrade for builders who want their cars to feel tight, solid, and finished. This is the same material trusted in high-end customs, competition cars, and OE applications for one simple reason: it works.

Why You Need Dynamat Xtreme in Your Build
The Xtreme Bulk Pak gives you 36 square feet of proven vibration control — enough coverage to attack the floors, doors, roof, trunk, firewall, and anywhere else sheetmetal likes to sing the wrong tune. Road noise, exhaust drone, panel buzz — gone. What’s left is a quieter cabin, sharper audio, and a vehicle that feels engineered instead of improvised.
Why Builders Swear by It
This isn’t foam. It’s not insulation fluff. Dynamat Xtreme is a high-performance butyl vibration damper designed to stop resonance at the source by turning unwanted vibration into low-level heat. Translation? Less noise, more control, and a ride that feels expensive.
- 36 sq ft of coverage across nine oversized sheets — perfect for full interiors and serious projects
- Peel-and-stick aluminum-backed design that molds easily to complex shapes and contours
- Thin, aggressive damping performance without packing on unnecessary weight
- Heat-resistant, durable construction built to last as long as the rest of your build
What You’ll Notice First
Doors shut with authority. Panels feel dead-solid. Your stereo suddenly sounds like it got a free upgrade. Long drives get quieter. Short drives get smoother. It’s the kind of change you feel immediately — and miss instantly if it’s not there.
Bottom line: If you care about craftsmanship, comfort, and refinement, Dynamat Xtreme isn’t optional. It’s one of those upgrades that separates a car that looks good from one that feels right.
