BROTHERS CUSTOM AUTOMOTIVE

MUSIC I've always felt that these cars mean something to the people that build them, mean something to the cities that have the factories, and they're the lifeblood. They always have been in this town, and it means something to keep them on the road, and to make them special and unique for the people that own them, and to make them safe, and to make them fast, if that's the one. We work on a lot of historic cars. Cars that have history, cars that have history not just in magazines or things And I care for these cars And I know all the nuts and bolts on them, I show the customers everything that I can to keep them safe and make good decisions to keep the car on the road because, I'll make it right. I always wanted a 27T Roadster. I wanted the Turtle Deck. I wanted one because I lived in Detroit, I grew up in Detroit, the shadow of these great car companies. I always had a thing for these little 27s, and I found one that had never been repainted, and I wanted to build it just the way somebody might have built it back in the 40s, I wanted a Lake Roadster, and I followed the same guidelines that they did, nice and low, channeled, A chassis, V8 engine, lots of carburetors, big bore, stroke, as much as I could do to feel the same feeling. I wanted to know what it was Building cars You can experience it. I'm too young to have experienced it, but you still can. You can open up the little pages, and you can follow the recipe. The engine builds are the same. You can have the bore, the stroke, the cam, the carbs, you can have the frame, the chassis laid out the same way, and you can go, man, just You can feel the same thing that they did. What's that inside? That side? I don't know. Up high? I don't know. I got it. I love flathead engines. I love what they look I don'think there's anything better to look at. Why would someone build a flathead? They may not be the fastest, but they're definitely the coolest looking thing out there. Nothing sounds Nothing looks And nothing better, in my opinion. I approach every build different. It depends on the customer, and what they want to do with it. I always want them to have a really good experience and have great confidence in the engine that they have, and be built for them. What makes a good flathead? Well, one that starts at the push of the button, no cranking. One that doesn't run hot. One that sounds killer. You run through the gears and you can hear it, and you want to hear it. Keep hearing it. As long as you can keep your foot in it. That's what makes a good flathead.
