All Chevy Performance Volume 5, Issue 60 - December 2025

Now that we’re nearing, or for many of us, the end of the cruising and outdoor show season, it’s time to go over our rides and do some general maintenance or fix what broke from all the driving we did over the summer months. For us Southern California folks, the cruising season is pretty much year-round, but if there is a time for upgrades or repairs, now is good. For me, I’ll use the downtime doing some fixing and a little upgrading. Strangely, the driver side window on my 1971 Camaro went through a rapid unscheduled disassembly while aggressively taking a corner combined with a dip in the road. First thought was that someone unhappy with a loud muscle car driving by shot out the window, but being it happened…

TavisHighlander.com OWNER: Penn Tasinga While working with the owner on the initial ideas for this build it was apparent that the boxy and simple looks of the 1965 Nova were something that needed to be retained. The goal would be to create something subtle with a nice stance and a timeless look. To accomplish that we settled on Forgeline RS5 wheels, which fit the overall vintage vibe. What makes the whole build special is the plan for the drivetrain. Legacy EV and J-Rod & Custom have been tapped to make this Nova fully electric. Range isn’t too much of a concern since the primary use will just be local cruises and zipping around town. Range may not matter too much to the owner, but performance does. The plan is to…

Everyone has their own reasons for building a custom car. In some cases, it’s to break a track record or cross a particular model off their bucket list. In the case of Eddie Motorsports, the shop located in Rancho Cucamonga, California, they had a few reasons of their own. It just all came together a little bit differently than the way a regular Joe might go about the process. Eddie Motorsports (EMS) builds all sorts of billet aluminum parts for classic cars and trucks. During the years they’ve been in business, they’ve done quite a few project vehicles. In this case they wanted to veer away from the usual fare and do something a little bit outside of the box. The decision was made to do a third-gen Chevy Nova,…

One of the best moments in reaching the end of a new build is when the business office finally starts to take shape. It’s a time when you can delve into the endless stream of options available from the aftermarket to help you decide on just the right parts, colors, textures, and materials to use when you’re ready to freshen up your interior and add a bit of a punch. Simple things like the headliner and carpet should never be overlooked as they frame the vibe of the interior, offering a solid base to work with. Many readers of All Chevy Performance have seen the evolution of this 1971 Camaro laid out across our pages, being the subject of numerous tech articles over the past few years. Its evolution from…

“WHEN I was 17 years old, I would always hear older men talking about how they wish they would have kept their first car,” Joe Taylor remembers. “At a young age I said if my first car still looked good, I would restore it one day.” Well, those words stuck with Joe and decades later he followed through by fully restoring and significantly upgrading the very first car he ever bought: a brand-new 1977 Chevy Malibu. The car served him well for decades as he drove it on his wedding day, rushed his sister-in-law to the hospital who actually went into labor in the car, brought his own newborn son home from the hospital, and, it was his daily driver for many years on the streets of Jennings, Louisiana. Later…
