This episode we dive deep into the nitty-gritty process of moving parts from the 260 to the Redline Rebuild 289. We'll explore some components that tell A Touring Tale and even get a sneak peek at some other enhancements bundled into the Tiger's engine swap.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/sunbeam-tiger-engine-swap-project-ep-5/ ...

  Often ridiculed following its debut in the turbulent 1970s, the AMC Pacer’s radical interpretation of a compact car has since accomplished an impressive feat—it’s become a legitimate cult classic. One part of its shocking design included a large amount of glass to make the car both look and feel bigger, which is something Chip Foose reimagines as a custom delivery van.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/chip-foose-rethinks-the-amc-pacer/ ...

  There is a saying within the restoration and DIY community that it's the last five percent of your project that takes 95 percent of your time. Davin hit the thick of this phase on our 1950 Chevy truck project, which means it's time to buckle down and power through the home stretch.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/davin-offers-some-life-advice-as-he-works-on-our-1950-chevy-truck-redline-update/ ...

This week's video was, as usual, a bit of a comedic struggle for one man in his garage. Watch and enjoy the rather ... different project of removing the original 260-cubic-inch V-8 from the rally-ready 1966 Sunbeam Tiger and replacing it with the world-famous Redline Rebuild 289 built by our own Davin Reckow. The original motor will be shrink-wrapped for posterity, and who wouldn't mind doubling the horsepower of an already fun car anyway?   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/old-ford-260-sunbeam-tiger-engine-swap-project-ep-4/ ...

There is a gadget, nay, an instrument in Tom Cotter's Barn Find Hunter tool kit that is second only to his personal charm and vintage car knowledge. That is his woody wagon. The yellow paint and bird's eye maple have made a warm first impression on many folks to whom Tom has introduced himself over the years. This wagon's fascinating history reaches farther back than its tenure on Barn Find Hunter, however, and the latest episode is dedicated solely to this one car—which is possibly Tom's first barn find.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/the-crazy-story-behind-toms-39-ford-woody-wagon-barn-find-hunter-ep-80/ ...

Davin is still working from home, but that doesn't prevent him from making progress on the 1951 Buick straight-eight. This latest Redline Update comes from Davin alone, with his only help standing behind the camera (his son Anders must have found something else to do). The straight-eight is still back at the shop, but the fuel pump and oil pump both need rebuilding and are perfect take-home projects.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/davin-works-on-our-buick-straight-8-at-home/ ...

Removing the Ford 260-cu-in V-8 from the confines of the Tiger engine bay takes a lot of lifting, jacking, bracing, and swearing under my breath. As you may know, you have to drop it out from the bottom, which is quite different from most cars. The biggest item to move besides the engine itself is the subframe that holds the steering rack and front suspension. It's one big unit that is held in place by four long bolts that go through the subframe and up into the frame rails of the car.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/front-subframe-removal-goes-mostly-according-to-plan/ ...

Enzo Ferrari called the Series I Jaguar E-type "the most beautiful car ever made," but the E-type coupe doesn't get nearly the attention of its convertible counterpart.  Chip Foose has plans to change that. Before our eyes, he'll transform the E-type coupe into a streetwise sports car with even sleeker design elements.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/chip-foose-reimagines-the-iconic-jaguar-e-type/ ...

Our Chevrolet 3600 pickup has been making steady progress, but even though it now boasts a fuel tank and a new wiring harness, the heavily-patina'd pickup stranded on the two-post lift hasn't seen any major changes recently. That's about to change, though, because Davin finally has enough small-scale projects done to tackle something big. Engine-installation big.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/putting-the-engine-back-in-our-1950-chevy-pickup/ ... View more

  Tom has an established procedure for introducing himself to the owner of a promising barn-find location, but things went a little differently during this visit to Traverse City, Michigan.

When Davin's manager told him he had to transition to working from home, he didn't put up too much resistance; that meant Davin would have a second set of hands to help with projects around his home race shop. His 9-year-old son, Anders, becomes Davin's co-star in our latest video.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/special-guest-helps-davin-out-in-his-home-race-shop/ ...

A little back story: I’ve been here before. A little over two years ago, I put my ’66 Sunbeam Tiger back together after a quasi-restoration, which included some fresh gaskets in the original Ford 260-cubic-inch V-8. This motor did not need rebuilding, and since I was spending money in other areas—paint, body work, and so on—the motor went back in pretty much just as it came out.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/ford-289-hipo-v-8-engine-swap-project-sunbeam-tiger-king/ ...

Released as Ford's answer to Jeep's CJ-5 and the International Harvester Scout, the first-generation Ford Bronco was a light truck in the purest form: a practical, functional, simple vehicle intended for on- and off-road duty. The clean body lines, minimalist interior, removable doors/roof, and fold-down windscreen made no pretensions to style or luxury; at its core it was a functional design.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/chip-foose-reinvents-the-1966-ford-bronco/ ...

Davin spent lots of hours rebuilding the 216-cubic-inch straight-six for the 1950 Chevrolet 3600 pickup, but the fact of the matter is that without a fuel system that engine would just be a pretty hunk of metal. That's why, on the latest Redline Rebuild Update, he dives into getting the chassis set up to feed the engine its necessary fuel.   Read the full article on Hagerty.com: https://www.hagerty.com/media/videos/putting-the-fuel-tank-back-in-our-1950-chevy-truck/ ...

The look of a finely detailed engine is what separates the best from the rest when judges are poring over restored or custom vehicle. Those who have tackled the process of assembling finished fasteners know how maddening it can be to watch your perfect paint work chip off as you remove the torque wrench.

The Redline Update series has been tracking Davin as he tackles multiple projects, but the one that's come the furthest is the 1950 Chevrolet 3600.
