Project Car Update: Tinman 2 Kustoms 1940 Chevy

We thought you would like to get the inside scoop on some of the projects we’re supporting this year before you read about them in the magazines and see them on the car show circuit. Then you can tell your buddies, “Yeah, I know all about that one.”

The first Project Car Update is this 1940 Chevy two-door sedan under construction at Tinman 2 Kustoms in Minnesota. Twenty-five-year-old proprietor Luke Merrill has done everything from restorations and customs to slammed rat trucks and radical hot rods—all out of a shop that probably looks a lot like yours.

Tinman 2 came to our attention thanks to Wild Torquey, a 1931 Chevy 4-door sedan that won Luke Top 10 Young Gun and Top 40 awards at the 2017 SEMA Show. The car features a 5.9L Cummins turbodiesel with twin-compound turbochargers and a big dose of nitrous. On the bottle, the Cummins makes 800 horsepower and 1,500 lbs.-ft. of torque.

Visit our OnAllCylinders blog to learn more about Tinmama and see some cool video from Luke's other projects.
