In this episode of HOT ROD Garage, hosts Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa revisit their '72 Javelin project. After years of work, they finally installed the powerful 401 AMC engine they built, revealing its impressive capability to rev up to 7,000 rpm. However, the car's handling was far from ideal, resembling a fiery mess on wheels. Determined to change that, the duo removes the outdated components and replaces them with a cutting-edge setup featuring tubular construction, heim joints, a rack and pinion system, four-wheel disc brakes, and a durable Ford 9-inch rear end.
