I'd love to have that chassis under my truck.

^^^Correct

I got to be a part of the Hot Rod TV filming of the truck today at CW Restoration & Bill Dunn upholstery in Huntington Beach.











A piece of the 'Revolver'

That tailgate lettering is one great idea.

That setup should be nice for guys hunting just the right mufflers to be able to check out and compare different mufflers from them. Some people just want loud and have no interest in the quality of the sound the pipes make but there are a lot of us who are real particular about how our pipes sound when we go down the road or cruise through a car show.

Re: Magnaflow's 'Revolver' 1949 Chevy pickup project
The Revolver isn't fully automated yet. They just finished filming the Hot Rod TV episode based on the truck too so I don't think it will be in the episode. Look for an upcoming Powerblock with it featured as well.


I forgot I had some pics of them unloading it at Optima.

I would imagine Homeland Security would have some issues with that truck if they saw it going down the highway.

I saw it on an episode of the show where they switched from one set of mufflers to another when they were trying it out. It's a great concept to take to outdoor shows so they can show guys the difference between what several different sets of mufflers sound like one after the other on one truck.
