Netcong Auto Restorations Custom 2011 Mustang GT & Victory Hammer S featured at SEMA Show Las Vegas

Leading monthly magazine Popular Mechanics commissioned Netcong Auto Restorations, LLC., once again for the magazine's annual Car Makeover feature, that ran in its 2011 May and June issues. Both custom vehicles featured at SEMA Show in Las Vegas


Last year, Popular Mechanics put one shop to the ultimate test: After conducting a nationwide search for a custom shop capable of turning a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS into something special, Popular Mechanics selected Netcong Auto Restorations of Netcong, New Jersey. Phil and Dana Brazer, the shop's owners, then subjected themselves to our deadlines and the harsh glare of scrutiny. The amazing machine that resulted featured bold styling and enough chassis modifications to shame many purpose-built race cars.


This year, Popular Mechanics approached the project a little differently. they liked how the Brazers did things, so we threw them a new challenge: If the Camaro was about no-compromises speed, then for 2011, we wanted style and comfort to come first. We wanted the ultimate weekend getaway car.


To that end, Popular Mechanics bought a 2011 Ford Mustang convertible, a red GT model with Ford's 412-hp, 5.0-liter V-8. At just over $34,000, the GT can hang with modern supercars without breaking the bank. But the project and its challenge didn't stop there. Popular Mechanics wanted to be able to mix things up after hitting our destination. A motorcycle was needed, something big on style and comfort. Enter the Victory Motorcycles 2010 Hammer S: old-school looks and a modern, 97-hp V-Twin. Thanks to modern suspension geometry and braking technology, the Hammer S stops and turns like a real bike, not some relic from a bygone era. We ordered up an Aluminum motorcycle trailer and told the Netcong crew to think about how to make our Hammer S a long-legged highway custom.


The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world (PLEASE NOTE: THE SEMA SHOW IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC). It draws the industry’s brightest minds and hottest products to one place, the Las Vegas Convention Center. As part of the AAIW, the SEMA Show attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from more than 100 countries for unlimited profit opportunities in the automotive, truck and SUV, powersports, and RV markets. SEMA Show 2010 drew more than 50,000 domestic and international buyers...


The finished car was featured at the Pocono 500 June 10-12, 2011, held at Pocono Raceway, which has long been recognized as one of NASCAR's most competitive speedways.


The vehicle was also showcased at the 22nd Annual Route 66 Car Show in San Bernadino, CA, September 15-18, 2011 and at The 71st Anniversary Sturgis Rally August 8-14, 2011.


Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is one of the largest bike rallies in the United States. The Rally included concerts, races, bike shows, exhibits, organized rides, and a full schedule of entertainment.


Both vehicles will also be featured at the 2011 SEMA Show, November 2011 in Las Vegas, the premier automotive accessories trade show in the world.


Plus, the custom Mustang and Victory motorcycle wiill make a special visit to Jay Leno’s Garage.


The transformation of the custom 2011 Ford Mustang GT and  Victory Hammer S motorcycle was chronicled in a two-part advertorial feature in the May and June 2011 issues of Popular Mechanics, as well as online at www.pmtopshop.com


Since, 1968, our expert mechanics have delighted clients with classic car restoration, show car restoration, complete auto repair, custom cars, performance tuning, turbo charger kits, supercharger kits, body kits, auto body collision, car painting and refinishing services.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Part 1: Weekend Pony Express
The 2011 Pop Mech Top Shop: An All-New Adventure
PUBLISHED BY POPULAR MECHANICS MAY & JUNE 2011

At its heart, car customizing is about passion: a passion for style, a passion for speed, a passion for doing things right.

It's also about struggle—overcoming the obstacles and frustrations that can derail any complex project. Restoration and custom shops do this every day, but the hurdles they face aren't lessened because they've seen them before. Add in normal business issues like crazy customer demands and ill-fitting parts, and you've got a recipe for a headache.

Last year, we put one shop to the ultimate test: We took that headache and put it under a spotlight. After conducting a nationwide search for a custom shop capable of turning a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS into something special, we settled on Netcong Auto Restorations of Netcong, New Jersey. Phil and Dana Brazer, the shop's owners, then subjected themselves to our deadlines and the harsh glare of scrutiny. The amazing machine that resulted featured bold styling and enough chassis modifications to shame many purpose-built race cars.
