Persistent Restorations

Bumpers were re-chromed, the interior redone and the car was repainted. It is a number matching car right down to the F8 green paint.

This 440, 6-pack with a louvered hood had been repainted once before. We took the car apart, repaired some panels and painted it the original citrine yellow. I worked with the customer on the cosmetics and putting on the outside decals. I painted the car twice before I was satisfied with the result.

This Cornet with a 426 hemi came into us painted but it needed to be redone as the rust was coming through the paint. It was stripped down and we started from scratch. We overhauled the engine, transmission, differential, did chassis work. The customers had the bumpers rechromed, the stainless polished and seats redone. We installed all the pieces and parts, repainted and reassembled the car. The owners won first place in their class at the first show they took it to. This car has received several other awards from various shows. The car is driven occasionally.

This is an original, un-restored Model T from California. A few repairs had been done before it was brought into the shop, but it hadn’t been started in years. We are cleaning it up, doing the interior, top, wiring, cooling system and getting it mobile. Since we want to leave it as original as possible, the paint will be touched up only where necessary.

This yellow GTX came in as an older restoration. It had some rust and was in desperate need of repair to save the car. The pictures show the rust damage around the windows. The sheet metal was removed and new pieces were welded in. The car was then sealed, primed and painted. A new vinyl top and other minor touchups finished up the exterior. The engine did not run so repairs were made to put it back to original condition.
