EPISODE 1

Factory-Backed Street Racing in a '67 GTX

Things were very groovy indeed when, in 1969, Detroit's Big Three were actively supporting and sponsoring local Detroit street racers. This is the story of Jimmy Addison's Silver Bullet and the details that made it such a force on Woodward Avenue.
EPISODE 2

This is Funny Car Folk Art!

Model building, like full-size hot-rodding, can be an exercise in imagination. Steve dives into the fever dream of Funny Car Folk Art as he explores the altered-wheelbase movement of the mid '60s, gasser stylings, and the '67 Chevelle's big-block power.
EPISODE 3

The Even Littler Red Wagon

Steve builds the origin story of the 1960s Wheelstanders movement, the Little Red Wagon. He makes a good kit great as he bashes together the mid-engine wheelie machine that accidently turned a flailing marketing campaign into a cultural phenomenon.
EPISODE 4

The Charger of Magnante Past

Steve's feeling a little nostalgic as he rediscovers his long lost love, his 1968 Charger R/T! Referencing his personal photos, he builds a Steve-correct car with primer finish, Racing Green jambs, TorqueFlite trans and wide-by-wider rolling stock.
