Steve Magnante is a car guy of epic proportions and a car builder of miniature scale -- 1:25 scale, to be exact. He'll toss the instructions aside to custom-build some of his favorite cars. Drawing from his encyclopedic mind, his vault of vintage magazines, and a near junkyard worth of spare parts, Steve hot rods ordinary kits to become extraordinary glimpses into automotive history.

1. Factory-Backed Street Racing in a '67 GTXThings were very groovy indeed when, in 1969, Detroit's Big Three automakers were actively supporting and sponsoring local Detroit street racers. This is the story of Jimmy Addison's Silver Bullet and the details that made it such a force on Woodward Avenue.CCJun 7, 2021
2. Hilborn Stacks, Wheelbase Surgery and a '67 Chevelle - Funny Car Folk ArtModel building, much like full-size hot-rodding, can be an exercise in imagination and building out your dreams. In this episode, Steve introduces us to the fever dream that is Funny Car Folk Art as he explores the altered-wheelbase movement of the mid '60s, gasser stylings, and the big-block power of the '67 Chevelle.CCJun 13, 2021
3. The Even Littler Red WagonSteve builds the origin story of the 1960s Wheelstanders movement, the Little Red Wagon. He knows how to make a good kit great as he bashes together the mid-engine wheelie machine that accidently turned Dodge's flailing marketing campaign into a long-running cultural phenomenon.CCJun 21, 2021
4. The Charger of Magnante PastSteve's feeling a little nostalgic as he rediscovers his long lost love, his 1968 Charger R/T! Referencing his personal photos, he builds a Steve-correct car with primer finish, Racing Green jambs, TorqueFlite trans and wide-by-wider rolling stock.CCJun 28, 2021
