I have one of about 4 shops we use depending on quality. In Cali with the EPA and Air Resource Board, etc side of things you have to run a body shop to make it worth while.

Maybe someday

Thanks. We are getting there one day at a time. It could not happen without hard work and good help.

They way i see it, Im trying to sell quality in a price driven world.

Slow and steady always wins the race.

I figured I might as well bring this old up up from the dead.

The 2nd half of the show season has been pretty good to us. We have gathered quite a few awards at the Goodguys shows this fall. Frank's 48 wound up getting truck of the year in Scottsdale a few weeks ago. He got a fancy Snap On tool box with some pics of his truck on it and got to park with the other winner in the Terrific 12 arena.

Man I look like Godzilla in this picture.


The Following weekend we took Andy's 60 Ford truck to the Del Mar and picked up a Builder choice award. We also got some truck award in Texas back in October with the 60.

Andy and Mary were pretty excited

After Pleasanton we were approached to see if we would build a 57 Porsche 356 outlaw. We are currently working on some rendering and getting a solid direction together on the project. It looks like a tube chassis AWD, 350hp Subbie engine are the plan with all vintage styling. I had no idea these cars were so expensive.

And a little inspiration.

We have been really busy with all kinds of different projects. We have been selling rolling chassis's like crazy and trying to get a few projects together for the Grand National Roadster show in January.

We also have a pretty good list of interior parts coming out right around the first of the year. Some pretty cool stuff that does not exist in the market place..... YET.
