Trials, Tribulations, and Second Thoughts

Did we butcher Project X? Controversy abounds, but how much did we have to modify our 1957 Chevy for its latest drivetrain swap?

Trials, Tribulations, and Second Thoughts

This is going to sound a bit repetitive, but it needs to be said again: since we first bought Project X for $250 back in 1965, its main reason for existing has been to act as a testbed for new hot rodding trends and technologies. There was a time when that was electronic ignitions and EFI, but it's 2021, and just as Smitty explained in The Hollywood Knights, everything changes...nothing stays the same. Project X has been on 21 magazine covers and has been the subject of 93 articles, many of them technical stories where changes were made to the car.
