Blackdog Speed Shop Sponsors 55th Annual Chicago World Of Wheels

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The 55th World of Wheels car show returns to Rosemont March 3rd through March 5th; with a new sponsor, Blackdog Speed Shop.

Blackdog Speed Shop is a high performance, custom car builder in the northern suburbs of Chicago specializing in builds, restomods, plus upgrades to drivetrains, engines, frames, headers, and exhausts.  Whether classic muscle cars or late model vehicles needing that extra boost, Blackdog has the team, equipment, and experience to bring any vision to reality.  Come meet them at Booth#(s) 549, 550, 551, and visit our site BlackdogSpeedShop, or call 847-634-7534.

With over 10 years of professional racing experience including three-time Pirelli World Challenge GTS class championships (2013, 2014, and 2015); Blackdog's seasoned professionals know how to get more power to the street from their customers' rides.

Services include engine and dynamometer tuning by our racing staff (Blackdog Dyno Tune Video), horsepower upgrades include one project for an 800+ horsepower street legal Z06 Corvette running on pump gasoline, to award winning restomods.

"Our customers come to Blackdog to get their dream rides with modern conveniences, for example; the '55 Bel Air convertible displayed in our booth is a ground up project.  New frame and suspension, new 4 wheel disc brakes, new LS7 505+HP engine six-speed transmission, power steering, air conditioning, the works," said Eric Wolf Project Manager for Blackdog. 

"It's great for our customers to take a true classic, big body ride like the Bel Air; start it up; hear that fantastic roar from Blackdog's custom headers; feel the horsepower under their feet;  experience the luxurious and responsive ride from the all custom suspension to the tight rack and pinion steering - that makes the car handle (with minimal body roll) like a brand new ride – which it is, all except the body which is pristine;" Chuck Miller Blackdog's Shop Manager.

"We're truly excited to be the premiere sponsor for the 55th World of Wheels; we've been exhibiting for a few years now, and won accolades for our 1957 Chevrolet Cameo exhibited at last year's event, including coverage from Hot Rod magazine," said Wolf.

Blackdog Speed Shop also has an exclusive, high-performance muscle car dealership you can check out as well for classics and restomods . . . Blackdog Auto Sales.
