Yogi's When you think about Iowa I bet you think of corn fields not car parts, but that’s changing. Yogi’s has become one of the Nation’s largest dealers for Classic Car and Truck, Street Rod and Muscle Car parts. With their central US location, low overhead and “Get it done and do it right” Midwestern work ethic, more and more people are calling Yogi’s their favorite parts supplier. Yogi’s was founded back in 1979 by Yogi Somerville (AKA Yogi) out of his own frustration with high shipping and slow delivery times while building his own cars. A centrally located warehouse just made sense. From its humble beginnings with a few select parts in the back of a warehouse, Yogi’s Inc. has expanded to fill a 40,000 square foot facility that houses over 12,000 parts from over 100 manufacturers. Most parts are IN STOCK and ready to ship. If we don’t have it we’ll try to get it for you!

TANKS, INC. has been a leader in the street rod industry, receiving various awards for safety and innovation. In addition, it was the first to introduce style into street rod gas tanks; radiused edges, die-stamped openings, flush-mounted fittings, indented panels and slotted mounting flanges, just to name a few. It was also the first on the block with a true reproduction Deuce tank, though many had tried and failed. Their exclusive "Baffle-Tunnel" made polyethylene gas tanks a viable choice for the rodder. To top it off, the company holds three patents in the automotive field, two of them for gas tanks

Street Rods by Michael, Inc.began as a restoration shop in Nashville, TN in 1990, restoring classics, muscle cars and antiques. Later adding street rods to the mix, helped Michael expand the business. MIchael came to Nashville in 1980 to play music. After a good career as a studio musician, he found that running a shop that specialzed in classic cars was more fun than the music business. Growing up in Oregon, Michael played with cars from the time he was able to sit behind the wheel. Owning literally dozens of hot rods from high school on up gave Michael the experience and passion for cars that has carried over to the business you see today. Check it out here

MSD Ignition has led the automotive world in performance ignitions for over 40 years and now we are rewriting another industry standard. Introducing Atomic EFI™, a throttle body kit designed to update engines using outdated carburetors with all of the modern benefits of a fuel injection system. Current aftermarket options to convert a vehicle to EFI can be difficult and time consuming, but with the all-new Atomic EFI™ all that will change. Atomic EFI™ was designed for the average car guy, like you. Installation is easy and replaces a 4-barrel carb with just basic tools. Also, instead of having countless sensors, we incorporated the TPS, MAP, IAT, and more right in the throttle body so that you don't have to worry about installing them. Atomic EFI™ features a returnless fuel system, which means you can keep your existing fuel tank pickup and never have to modify the gas tank. Atomic EFI™ will be available for purchase in 2012. If you purchase one between Jan. 1 and Mar. 31 you get a free MSD 6A ignition!
