This version of CC‘s nationwide garage tour is a bit different. This is Scott Sullivan’s little two-car garage where he’s been building cars for more than 30 years. You’ll notice this isn’t a 10,000–square-foot shop with a bunch of gas monkeys chimping around. His ’54 Chevy is undergoing a final assembly in the same spot where he built his exceptional, red Henry J and the iconic Cheese Whiz orange Pro Street ’55 Chevy that whizzed everybody back in 1989. You won’t find a Bridgeport here. In fact, the work bench is usually so cluttered that it seems like Scott does most of this work on the floor. There’s a not-so-subtle message here. Those professional shops are plenty nice with CNC machines and other 21st-century luxuries. But that’s all they are—luxuries. Scott is more of a minimalist who can still get the job done. The ’54 is powered by a Scoggin-Dickey LS3 that’s fed fuel with a Holley Dominator EFI system through a Holley intake that Scott massaged. At first glance, you might mistake it for a 409 because Scott built those valve covers to make you look twice. You don’t need a shop full of big machines to be a talented car builder. The real car builders can do it with a few handtools, a right-angle grinder, a sanding block, a paint gun, and a pocket full of talent.
