1966 Mustang
Phase 1: Got her back on the road
Had been in pieces in a barn since the 1990s. Got her all put back together and freshened up with disc brakes and new wheels and tires.
Phase 2 will be body work and a new paint job.
1970 Chevelle
The Perpetual Project - Snake Plissken
Did a body swap, put in a 6spd manual trans, lowered 2", Z06 brakes, 454 bored .030 over, Holley 850 carb, replaced floors, all new electrical, custom frame, suspension, and interior.
Next up: get it road worthy and start enjoying it!
1965 C20
Phase 1: Mechanicals and Exhaust
This is an awesome time capsule that has been in one family since new. Fixed some minor mechanical issues and corrected some shoddy electrical work that had been 'fixed' by someone before. Gave her a new exhaust that sounds much meaner.
Phase 2 will be interior and body work and a new paint job.
1972 Chevelle Wagon
The Family Mover
We wanted something fun to move the whole family around in. We bought it in pieces and had fun putting it together with the kids, got it road worthy to start enjoying with the kids.
Next up: a 6spd manual trans and then paint!
1969 Malibu
Full Restoration for Bessie
Doing a full restoration of this sentimental car that has been in the customer's family since it was built and use to be his daily driver.
2004 6.0L Super Duty
Carole Baskin
This truck is our nemesis! It belongs to our friend and it is always having issues. In fact, we first met this truck when it tried to run over our SRT 392 Challenger. Replaced the HPOP, injectors, ball joints, brakes and you name it. Currently chasing HPOP leaks.
2000 7.3L Super Duty
Old Reliable Gets a Lift and New Shoes
Our shop truck has been so good to us for many years. We've always wanted to lift her, and finally got to!
1988 Suburban
Big Blue
Very clean and in great shape. Fixed a few minor mechanicals. Will be listing for sale soon.
1986 Monte Carlo
New Hood and Paint
The interior on this car was IMMACULATE! Had a big scratch/dent on the door, hail damage and needed the paint freshened up. Gave her a mean cowl hood while we were at it.
1969 Chevelle
Assembly Required
Picked this beauty up in pieces, installed the 502 crate motor, rebuilt the trans, and put it all back together, along with some larger brakes, new exhaust and updated electrical.
The Beetle
New Hood and Paint
Painted this for a friend to surprise his girlfriend.
1958 Thunderbird
Fixing Mistakes
We were introduced to this lovely "bird" to right the wrongs of the past. It had been through several shops and was never fixed or finished. We dusted her off and fixed all of the issues. Added new white wall tires, new headliner and seat covers to bring it back to life.
1966 Mustang
The beginning
This was one of our very first classic cars, you could say it started this whole thing in motion. Nothing special, just a 289 and a radio but it was still a great time.
1979 F150
Just Like Dad's
This one is all Erin, down to the 400 cu in straight six and manual transmission. We pulled it out of a goat farm a few years ago and have dragged it around the country with us since.
1986 GMC K15
The First Truck
This one was Nate's first truck. We've been through a lot with the old girl and she is due for some new floors and a freshening up.
