Hot Rods Abound in the Nichols Garage
Few things are more fun than spending a day doing a good old-fashioned garage crawl. No, that doesn’t mean getting down on your hands and knees looking for the washer that just rolled across the floor; we’re talking about doing the tour—runnin’ from one garage to the next just to see what folks are building, what kind of cool tools and memorabilia might be around, and of course, spending a little time swapping lies. Yeah, a garage crawl day is pure fun.

But this isn’t just an aesthetic upgrade. Each unit features a bold Chevrolet Bowtie Emblem, available in milled and raised or recessed and painted versions, with the option of red or black finishes to perfectly complement your engine bay.
