Project Cars

One day, while walking through the warehouse at Classic Performance Products, Jim and I were taking a casual tour when I spotted it: a 1955 Chevy sitting quietly off in the corner. It wasn’t shiny. It wasn’t perfect. But it had something. When I asked about it, Jim shrugged and said it was his car—one he’d owned for a while but never really did much with.

My name is Travis Prowess from CTV Concepts in Gardnerville, Nevada. This truck is a 1968 C50 crew cab. We’ve got a strong relationship with CPP—we work with them a lot in the shop on our own builds as well as customer projects—so going with the HydraStop system was a natural call.

From Art Crime Investigation to a ’55 Chevy 210: Dave Peterson’s CPP Powered Build. For Dave Peterson of Waukesha, Wisconsin, retirement didn’t mean slowing down—it meant finally diving into a long-awaited passion project. After a career in the furniture industry and eight years spent working in art crime investigation, Dave decided it was time to build something with his own hands. That decision led him straight to a timeless classic: a 1955 Chevy 210 two-door sedan. But this wasn’t just about restoring a car; it was about building one he could trust.

In this episode of FUEL FACTION, Andy and Dan take a stunning 1969 Camaro SS to the next level by installing a CPP Big Disc Brake Conversion Kit. The upgrade delivers modern stopping power to match the car’s performance, complementing its Holley Sniper EFI system and Ridetech Coil-Over Suspension for a perfect blend of classic style and cutting-edge handling.

When it comes to building a truck that’s equal parts performance, reliability, and affordability, Classic Performance Products (CPP) has become the go-to name for blue-collar builders everywhere. And for this builder, who’s been wrenching on his truck since he was 15, CPP was the clear choice — not just for quality, but for value.

Original Parts Group decides to restomod a 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible by using CPP’s LS installation kit and 500 Series sport ratio power steering gear box. This GTO is the perfect blend of originality and modern performance in a classic vehicle. Is your project build equipped with CPP steering, brakes, & suspension?

Jon was featured in 2016 Battle of the Builders and we were so excited to work with him on this project. His beautiful 1962 Cadillac was featured at SEMA and is equipped with CPP's 13" Big Brakes in the front and 12" Rear Big Brake kit. When it comes to blending classic Cadillac style with modern performance, few builds capture attention like the 1962 Cadillac Roadster by Rides by John. Based out of Southern California, Rides by John specializes in 1960s Cadillacs and hot rods, with a reputation for pushing the limits of creativity and craftsmanship. This particular build is no exception—it’s a ground-up transformation that turns a coupe into a one-of-a-kind roadster packing cutting-edge performance and show-ready details.
