Small Town Car Show Tour Photos: The Grand Coachman Car Show From St. Paul Nebraska Thanks To Scott Liggett

Last summer, Scott Liggett brought us pictures from some of the car shows he hit up in the small towns near his home in Nebraska. And while the towns might have been small, the shows themselves were anything but. These folks in Nebraska are serious about their hot rods and muscle cars, and they were bringing them out in droves. Below is the latest from Scott’s adventures, and we’re going to be sharing his galleries for the next several days.
(Words and Photos by Scott Liggett) Last summer I visited a bunch of small town car shows and showed the world a few things about the car scene in the small towns of Nebraska.  Just because a town is small, doesn’t mean the car scene can’t be big. And, there are a ton of high-quality classics and customs that are residing in these small towns. This time, we went to St. Paul, NE to check out Royal Coachmen’s Car Club’s car show as part of the Grover Cleveland Alexander Days of St. Paul.
Who is Grover Cleveland Alexander, and why is St. Paul celebrating his name as part of celebrating their town? Grover was a hall of fame major league pitcher from 1911 to 1936, as well as serving in WWI. Being inducted into MLB Hall of Fame in 1938. This car show is part of the weekend of town celebrating its history and heritage with the typical things small towns do with parades, a fair, food, and a car show. The Royal Coachmen put on a fantastic show, that also includes a city-sanctioned street race later in the day. The show takes over a big city park and this year they had a huge turnout.
As a side note, Royal Coachmen’s clubhouse has to be one of the coolest I have seen recently. It’s a 1930’s service station right across the street from the county courthouse. And, they have worked to keep it as it looked going back to the 50’s.
Check out the galleries below.

Tre5 Customs OBS Chevy Feature: Red On Red On Red On Red…

Image
This cool truck feature from Tre5 Customs is an OBS that just about everyone can relate to. Yes, the fit and finish is high level, the chassis is rad, and the LS swap is on point, but overall this truck is still identifiable as an OBS, with only one body modification! It still has door handles, features some sport mirrors, and other than a welded in roll pan out back doesn’t have any body mods. It’s just as the general intended, only smoother and prettier. Check out the details in the video below. As we’ve said before, the guys at Tre5 build some pretty cool trucks, and I always like watching their feature videos that come along when a project is ready to get delivered to the owner. These aren’t super sexy videos that make you ooh and aah over the truck but never actually tell you what is in it and under it, these are videos that really show you the cool stuff that went into these builds! We’re talking about the details and info that real enthusiasts want. And while these trucks are t

Check Out This 6×6 Engesa EE-25 Army Truck And It’s Freaky Boomerang Rear Suspension In Action

Image
Army trucks, we love them. Why? Well for the same reason we love functional hot rods that are lacking in amenities but are heavy in ass kicking ability. No matter the country of origin you are typically not going to find a lot of cushy stuff in an army truck, especially a large one. They are loaded full of ability, though and that’s exactly what caught our eye when it comes to this Brazilian 6×6 Engesa EE-25 and its awesome Boomerang rear axle. The truck uses a walking beam style layout but it can articulate in some incredible ways to keep the rears planted while the rest of the chassis rises to some pretty steel angles. Quoting a story on the rear suspension: The suspension of the EE-25 utilizes live axles and leaf springs, the rear suspension having a conspicuous “Engasa Boomerang” walking beam, a feature seen on several other Engesa 6-wheeled military vehicles. This suspension articulates, allowing the EE-25 to traverse large undulations with greatly increased traction, handling,

FAST LSXR INTAKE TEST-IS IT WORTH $1000? HOW MUCH HP DOES IT ADD? LSXR VS CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE

Image
One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr. Video Description: LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRA
