Bills 1957 MGA Restoration
June 21, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Here we have Bills 57′ MGA, Bill has owned the car for a pretty long time now, and it suffered from an old restoration that needed alot of help. The car Wasnt in the worst shape when we got it, but had alot of little holes, and some poorley installed rust patches. When we get a car with an older restoration we like to strip the car back down to metal to remove all the old material and know what we are starting with. Then we dissassembled the car down to make sure we had Everything fully stripped.
After Stripping the car down, Continue reading “Bills 1957 MGA Restoration” »

Zak’s 1997 Toyota Supra Rebuild
May 5, 2010 by Leave a Comment
We have been making alot of progress on our one of a kind Toyota Supra in the last few weeks, Here is a quick run down on what we have been up to:
We stripped the whole interior of the car. With the extensive work we will be doing to this car it is much easier working with all these pieces out, and with the welding and straightening we have done to the body, it would have been a serious fire hazard with it in place, not to mention we will be making a ton of dust and we wouldnt want to get that inside.

Frank’s 1971 Camaro
March 12, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Here we have another classic, Frank Natale’s 1971 Camaro. 
Frank was tired of the old dingy engine bay and brought it down to us for the Ultimate Touch. The car has a Warmed over 350 chevy, with a nice 5 speed swap for highway cruising. We brought the car in put her on the lift, and began looking her over and planing our next move. The car was overall very nice, but with a few quirks you would expect with a 30+ year old car. The car suffered from cobbled up wiring, a 5 speed that was put in place with a piece of wood, and overall a dirty greasy engine bay which really killed the beautiful 2nd generation camaro.

Hey Everybody, this is our documentation of our 1968 Chevy Camaro Convertible Rebirth. As some of you know this was one of our very first Show cars, after many years in the spotlight, its time for a change. We didnt want to do a minor change, we needed a big overhaul, so we literally ripped the whole car apart for a new engine, interior, Wheels, tires, ect ect Heres a quick before pic of the car at Boston World of wheels car show in 2009. You Can see photos of the way the car used to be here.
Boston World Of wheels 2009The First thing that had to go was the dated interior, we wanted a completely new modern style inside with alot of one off custom made pieces made in house by us. Gutting the interior
We were looking for something that would really make our car stand out from the pack, so we designed our own metal center console from scratch. The center console will be full length and go from the dashboard all the way to the rear seat. We wanted a Smooth and modern looking piece that really “flowed” with the inside of the car. Not wanting to leave the trunk a cluttered mess, we also attacked it with the same treatment Continue reading “Ultimate 1968 Camaro Rebirth” »

We’re looking for sponsors!
We’re looking for a few good sponsors for our auto restoration projects. We put a lot of time and money into our restos, but we’re not above asking for a little help!
What you get for sponsoring us.
- First, we’ll do a shout out to you on our website, here, logo included, link included.
- Then, we’ll spread the love around our social media sites (again, using your logo where appropriate, and also if we can provide a link back to you, we will:)
- FQuick – kinda a “Facebook” car-specialized website
- Anytime we’re throwing out stuff on forums, and we’re detailing a certain aspect of our restos that uses your products, we’ll link back to our site.
- We’ll take the restored car to your shop, and show it off. We’ll take some pictures, together.
- We’ll proudly display your logo at any car show we go to (and talk you up, since we wouldn’t be using your parts or service if we didn’t trust your work or product)
- We’ll also add your logo to our 40′ trailer.
- (If you can think up some other ways we can show you off, don’t hesitate to let us know….)
Sound good? Give us a call!
Sincerely,
