There are some of us who can remember the one that got away. Damn, that one hurts, right? It happens so commonly it’s a cliché. A buddy might pat you on the back and tell you that everything happens for a reason. It’s time to suck it up, buddy, because hell, for some of us there are other fish in the sea.

We stopped into one of our choice Midwest builders, No Coast Custom & Rod Shop (NCC&RS) in Lincoln, Nebraska, to check out one of their latest projects. They are well-known for their work in custom fabrication and high-performance applications. On this latest build, they’ve packaged a stout 6.0L LS crate with some performance add-ons that will usher this ’71 Camaro into the new era.

Before the temporary indoor gallery went on display to the public, however, many of the invited feature vehicles participated in a reliability run on Friday covering more than 130 miles around the Lincoln and Omaha areas, sticking primarily to backroads and two-lane highways. The run included stops at a private collection in Lincoln, CAL Auto Creations in Bennington, No Coast Custom and Rod Shop in Lincoln, and the Museum of American Speed on the Speedway Motors campus, where participants enjoyed a barbecue dinner, plus drinks from Mash Lab Brewing.

If you own a Chevy C10 pickup, you are automatically envied by every car/truck enthusiast on the road. Don’t take it from me – take it from the demand curve that continues to raise their value. Tied in with the infinite amount of aftermarket part suppliers like Speedway Motors keeping up with that curve – these trucks offer a perfect foundation to create whatever you want out of a classic truck.

To get us started, Ben Vaneperen and the crew at No Coast helped us get the cab mounted on a rolling cart that would make it easy to move around the shop and allow us access to the floor, rockers, and cab corners. We elected to install a full floor that was complete from rocker to rocker, cab back to toeboard, and already had all the supports attached underneath.
