Projects
At K-Town Customs we have worked on a variety of vehicles, makes and models. We continue to expand our knowledge and experience on every vehicle we work on.
We take pride in the work we do!
Scroll through our website to preview some of our past and current projects.
The Mistress
The project car that started it all. This 1991 Chevy Camaro has a 383 stroker shooting out 900 hp and 875 foot pounds of torque to the rear tires with a 13:1 compression ratio and a vortec supercharger installed with 12 pounds of boost and a 250 shot of nitrous. This car also has a slap shift transmission for those die hard manual drivers and the first ever Camaro to sport Lamborghini doors.
The Punnisher
This 1992 International Eagle Pro star has its iconic "5150" code on both sides of the truck meaning "crazy person on the loose". Gun muzzle style exhaust stacks and flat black paint job. It was also our first project to reach fame on Edlebrock's vehicle of the week!
Tow Mater
1957 International Harvester A120 Series Trucks with a 5.9L Cummins 12 valve with 1000 hp and 1500 lb ft of torque. Combined with the compound turbos at 96 lbs of boost @ WOT, this truck will be able to rescue anyone in need. This truck also has a custom chameleon paint job.
Mini Mater
1984 GMC S15 modified to fit a 2.3l Mitsubishi Turbo Diesel with a 5 speed 4x4 transmission. This truck is also sporting a custom arctic camo design with real leaf prints. This truck was designed to be versatile in towing, rock crawling, trail driving to acting as a daily driver. Its mini, but mighty.
The C-10
This 1967 Chevy C-10 has been heavily modified to support its massive power plant. Powered by a Cummins 12 valve turbo diesel, the frame was beefed up to support the weight and torque that it produces. Combined with a full air bag suspension with 4 settings you can ride normal or ride low with this beast!
1957 Willys Jeep
One of our many customer builds. This Willys Jeep owner had one important request; make it original and set it up to be a daily driver. You may even see it driving around Kamloops!
Karma
Our biggest and most expensive project to date! Karma is a 1983 Buick Regal with a custom 6.0 L LS1 with twin turbos making 3000 horse power. The engineering to build this car has been our proudest achievement!
1962 Chevy C-10 Turbo Diesel
Another customer project. With our experience in diesel swapped Chevy C-10 trucks, this customer contacted us about installing a Cummins 4BT with a GM4500 manual transmission into it.
1931 Hudson Essex Super Six
Sitting for over 23 years, we couldn't pass this one up. Clean body, next to no rust and all original. Its early in the project to show off the end goal of it but we will keep you up to date!
Tire Slayer
This 1984 Chevy S-10 Blazer is a Rear Wheel Drive Lake Tahoe edition. The body and frame was in mint condition and didn't need any work done other than a wax and polish. Under the hood this little guy sports a 327ci V8 small block giving it tons of power to burn the tires off. To give it extra power we put in a Turbo 350 transmission with a manual valve body and beefed it up for racing. We also gave it a 500 shot of nitrous for that extra power. This truck also is equipped with a 5 inch lowering kit for increased center of gravity.
1991 Dodge Stealth Custom
This customers 1991 Dodge Stealth sports a custom Lamborghini style door system that needed some fixing. We upgraded the shocks for them to handle the weight of the door in the most upright position. It also needed a few parts of the clear coat and wrap redone. Our challenge was to avoid damaging the paint still exposed. However, with a little bit of elbow grease and wet sanding we managed to get this car back to its original glory.
1981 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am
This one year only Trans Am featured a 301 v8 with a turbo from factory. This vehicle has gone through a full facelift and ground up restoration. All the rust removed, metal replaced, and body sanded down by hand and with blocks. We managed to find most of the original parts from other vehicles to make it as original as possible.
Freightliner Revolution RV - Repaint
This Client brought us their RV camper from another shop that never fully completed the job. We decided to start from scratch and redo all of the previous shops work. Every spot was redone and turned out perfect. We used special cameras to get us the exact paint color we needed so everything matched perfectly. Our client was extremely satisfied and happy that we got their RV back to its former glory!
18 Foot Custom Dove Car Trailer
Built from the rusty wreck it was, our team had redone the entire trailer and installed a dove tail to haul extremely low vehicles.
1948 Ford F-200 / F-68
This Ford pickup is all work and play, built ford tough and powered by a Chevy drive train, you get the best of both worlds of reliability and pure sweet enjoyment letting those tires rip a burnout! This truck features a shortened frame, Camaro front clip and 4 link suspension for the rear axle as well.
1950 Chevrolet 5 window Pickup
Nick named 'Grumpy Joe' by our client, this truck has quite a history. This is an all original numbers matching pickup. Every body panel has been reworked and all rust removed.
LS Swapped Mini (Current Project)
Yes we're doing it. It is considered the impossible but with a little bit of time and effort we will be installing an LS1 v8 into the smallest platform ever! (minus a smart car of course)
Smart Car "Meep Meep"
You asked, we delivered. we bought a smart car as our first fuel efficient build and added a new exhaust system, did a full detail and made it sound like the car from the jetsons with a genuine turbo exhaust whistle....
Mini Mater "Reborn"
One of our most experimental concepts yet. Mini Mater received a full facelift, new drive train and race ready equipment. The race ready parts include a twin turbo 4.8L v8 twin turbo making 1300hp, a AWD transmission and a state of the art C.O.M.M.A.N.D Console created by the team in house to read all of mini maters internals and switch everything on the fly...
1947 Chevy Restomod
After the head gasket went on this pickup the owner decided to change the engine out and add some go fast parts. We also updated the paint job it our iconic hot rod matte black. only two of these vehicles in the okanagan have this paint job and we did both...
1962 Corvette
After spending nearly 14 years of working painstakingly rebuilding the car from scratch with original OEM parts, the owner brought it to us to do the final touches. We assembled the bumper and trim pieces with extreme care and caution to ensure perfect fit to how it would look from the factory. And to think we though heart surgery was hard....
