When it comes to modern V8 power, the Gen 2 Ford Coyote is king — and now getting that monster motor into your build just became easier, smarter, and more reliable, thanks to a new partnership between RestoMod.co.za and MaxxECU SA.
We’re proud to offer two complete ECU control solutions for Gen 2 Coyote engines — whether you’re after a straightforward start-up system, or a full motorsport-grade custom setup.
When you picture a hot rod, chances are it’s a ’32 Ford. And for good reason — the Deuce Coupe is the blueprint for hot rodding. Light, low, mean, and made to run. It’s the icon that started it all, and it still turns heads nearly 100 years later.
For Monty Booth, this build wasn’t just about nostalgia — it was about making a statement. Something bold. Something world-class. Something yellow.
In the world of custom builds and restomods, choosing the right engine isn’t just about getting the car running — it’s about the long-term value, performance, and appeal of the finished project. While the Lexus 1UZ and other V8 engines from Toyota’s luxury arm may seem like a budget-friendly option, they often fall short when it comes to resale value, desirability, and even real-world performance.
Here’s why Lexus V8 swaps might not be the best move for your build:
When you blend the vision of a true Mustang aficionado like Clyde with the skill and passion of KZN’s finest automotive craftsmen, you get a restomod masterpiece — one of the most jaw-dropping 1968 Ford Mustang GT builds we’ve ever laid eyes on.
But don’t get it twisted — Clyde wasn’t just a spectator in this build. No, this guy is a hands-on gearhead through and through. He rolled up his sleeves and pieced together the majority of the car himself, right in his own garage. The paintwork and some of the heavy engineering? Those he entrusted only to trusted pros who would deliver nothing but top-notch quality, exactly to his uncompromising standards.
Keep Your Build Tight, Clean & Leak-Free

Here’s how to get the most out of your silicone hoses and keep your engine bay looking fresh and functional.
When you’re 6-foot-3 with a V8 dream, certain realities start to settle in—like the fact that fitting into a Cobra isn’t exactly comfortable. For Piet Botha, that realization was the beginning of something even better.
Piet had always been drawn to American muscle, with a lifelong admiration for C2 Corvettes. But comfort, sentiment, and practicality pointed him in a different direction. With the help of his son, Drikus Botha—co-founder of All American Muscle (AAM)—Piet found himself looking at a different kind of legend: the 1968 Plymouth Barracuda.
