When Richard “Moggy” Morgan of Electric Classic Cars set out to build Bugzappa, the plan wasn't just to create another wild YouTube build or quirky EV conversion. From day one, the target was the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the legendary “Race to the Clouds” in Colorado. That meant building a car capable of surviving 156 turns, 4,720 feet of elevation gain, and weather that can switch from summer to snow in a single run. It meant rethinking everything from the drivetrain to cooling. And it meant taking a humble Volkswagen Beetle and turning it into one of the most technically ambitious EV race cars ever attempted by an independent shop. “Ultimately, the aim was always to go Plaid,” Moggy explains with a grin, referencing Tesla's most powerful powertrain. “But before…

When you were a teenager in high school, you may have gotten caught up in watching drifting videos on the Internet. One Japanese dream car in particular, the Nissan 240SX, seemed to be everywhere. They are typically low to the ground, can't go over speed bumps, and are meant to get sideways on a back road in the hills. Big wheels and thin tires defined the 240SX, which Jake O'Donnel knows about all too well. Jake has a blue 1995 Nissan 240SX that defies what every person has ever thought about the Japanese-manufactured creation. His vision was to turn his car into an American prerunner fan's wet dream. Over the five years of this project being built, Jake's 240SX has gone through a few versions and has been featured by…

This eye-catching ride is owned by Chris Pulley from Richmond, Texas, a financial analyst working in the banking industry. As a kid, Chris always loved the active lifestyle but at age 12, he was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, a progressive neuromuscular disease. Not wanting the disease to dictate how he enjoyed life, Chris began finding ways to maintain an active lifestyle, even choosing a manual wheelchair in college that allowed greater mobility. As a result, he currently enjoys adaptive hunting, water and snow skiing, fishing and his latest favorite, diving. Certified through Dive Pirates, an organization that specializes in teaching people with disabilities to scuba dive, he's logged more than 180 dives. High performance automobiles are also on the list, like his Dodge Challenger SRT. The muscle car is…

Across the 20-episode YouTube build series on ECC's channel, Bugzappa provided more than its fair share of drama. There were late nights where wiring looms refused to cooperate, mornings spent machining brackets that still didn't fit, and the odd expletive deleted for broadcast. But there were also magic moments: the first time the motor spun the wheels under its own power, the first successful launch, and the first burnouts that left the workshop filled with smoke and grins. Moggy's humor carried the project as much as the engineering. “We've built race cars before,” he shrugs, “but never one that tried to electrocute us in the process.”…

There's just something about an old-school Ford that never goes out of style. For Nathan Thomas of Wirtz, Virginia, that timeless appeal was more than just nostalgia it was a calling. After a decade of blood, sweat, and late nights in his home garage, Nathan brought his vision to life with “Midnight Thunder,” a jaw-dropping 1956 Ford F-100 that perfectly blends hot rod heritage with modern muscle. Nathan grew up surrounded by hot rodders, and from the moment he heard the roar of a carbureted V8, he was hooked. “I always wanted a Pro Street truck,” he says. That dream finally took shape with this ‘56 F-100, which started life as a bare shell. What followed was a meticulous, passion-fueled build that would test his patience, skill, and creativity. One…

Although everyone likes to be behind the wheel of something unique. If your goal is to attend a car show and not see another vehicle like yours however, some genuine out-of-the-box creativity is required. Adding a few bolt ons to a vintage Mustang or spraying some custom paint on a '57 Chevy might work for some but for Elvis Kerns, a car builder from Mulberry Florida, the plan was considerably more elaborate. He always builds unusual vehicles, like his previous rides, a'59 Rambler, '38 Willys, and a '49 Divco milk truck. This time, to boost the creativity bar even higher, he decided his latest creation would be diesel-powered and essentially one-of-a-kind. He investigated several project vehicles but none made the cut until he found this 1937 International Cab Over in California,…
