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’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)
