When Cherry Bomb needed to build a car for the 2006 SEMA show they turned to an unusual source; a bike builder from Mitchell, South Dakota. Brian Klock and Klock Werks are well known for their ultra cool custom motorcycles so restoring a junky old Cadillac was a challenge. But Bomb Daddy Caddy was a huge hit at SEMA and the man with the vision who had never restored a car before joins Courtney on PowerBlock with the ‘65 Caddy he built and a matching 2001 Soft Tail.

This beautifully restored 1954 Corvette belongs to Dale Johnson and was restored by George Ross of Ross’ Restoration in Thompson’s Station, TN. This one is powered by the legendary 150 horse Blue Flame straight six. It’s a 235 cubic inch six cylinder engine with three Carter carbs and a Powerglide automatic 2 speed. These fiberglass beauties were introduced a year earlier in 1953 and back then they went for less than $3500. Chevy only made 300 in 1953.

Courtney also had in her shop this trick custom ‘05 Harley-Davidson FLHT. The owner is Taylor Cable’s VP & General Manager Ray Motes. Ray is a former Funny Car World Champion and NHRA Hall of Fame racer. So it’s no surprise his twin cam motor went from 80 cubic inches to a hundred and seven with S & S carbs, Axtell cylinders and Hillside heads. Kirk Van Scoten of Sumax was the builder of this masterpiece in chrome and Candy Copper metallic powder coat. Horsepower: 100, Torque: 120. For more info check out:
