Where do we even begin with a recap of SEMA 2019? Was it just us or did this show seem to grow in size? We saw a lot of familiar faces and so many amazing rides. We have to give it up to all of the incredibly talented builders who were behind them. (more…)

When looking for a project car for 2019, the Original Parts Group team didn't have to go very far, in fact, the vehicle had been awaiting restoration in the OPGI warehouse for several years. Here at OPGI, we do a lot of test fitting to make sure that the products we sell are of optimal fit. To do so, we need cars to test-fit said products on. The 1966 Lemans convertible has been a part of the OPGI collection since…

When purchased from the proverbial “little old lady” from San Diego, the Chevelle was a real SS 396 originally built with the rare and desirable L34 360hp 396ci option, but what a heap.
