Lengthened carbon shaft.

Well 2014 has already been a very busy one here at the shop. We have grown to 8 guys in the shop, plus my wife and I. We have lots of work going on. Some major projects and some other parts and pieces kinda jobs.

I'm pretty excited about a 55 Chevrolet project we are now doing with Fairway Chevrolet again. It will be a wedge section 55 Chevrolet post on one of our frames with some good past goodies bolted to the new LSX376-B15 crat engine. We hope it will make in the neighborhood of 8-900hp with an F-1 Procharger.

Here is picture of what we started with.

After a lot of cutting here is where we are now.

You can see how much the unmodified fender hangs below the rocker.

In these picture you can see the gap in the sheetmetal above the intake.

We have been doing some front sheetmetal "redesign" pretty exactly to the customers specs on this 71 Pantera. Its starting to look like something. Some of the previous work has not been quite up to snuff so we are slowing getting to address that.

We also have a very simple 1957 Chevrolet going together for a Guy Named Ray from Dallas Texas. This car is in great shape for an original paint car.

Yes Sir

Here is some pics of a Duramax Bus we are working on to build a very classy RV. We found super low mileage 2008 Duramax and we plan to use the front suspension and build the chassis with parts from the original truck.

We are trying to keep as much of the original under hood stuff to not loose the factory engineering for cooling and such.
