Meet Rutledge Wood's 1986 Porsche Carrera
It truly is a thing of beauty. And a lot of what you see here comes courtesy of Randy Allgood from Kenwood Rod Shop who paired up with Rutledge Wood to modify this particular Porsche. Among the major updates made: the guys rid the car of its original air-cooled engine and instead placed a Chevrolet Performance LS3 mated to a G50 transaxle into the rear of the car.

The Hot Rod Power Tour
Every year Hot Rod Network works with Chevrolet to put this tour together and 2019 marks its 25th year. It’s a seven-day, seven-city event that can best be described as a “travelling car show”. This year, some 6,000 vehicles are anticipated to take part in it, with a guesstimated 100,000 spectators expected to check it out. For 2019, the route starts at the zMAX Dragway in North Carolina and ends at Summit Motorsports Park in Ohio.
