1986 Ford Mustang GT

This mustang was sitting in the customers barn for around 20 years, and the owner wanted to drive his car from his younger years again. We rebuilt the stock 5.0 with a set of performance heads and a camshaft to make close to 400hp. We also upgraded the headers and intake manifold. We then had to add a set of new, wider wheels with sticky Hankook tires to put all that power to the blacktop.

1963 VW Beetle

This VW dune buggy was stripped to the center frame tube and got rebuilt from there! Every wear item and suspension component replaced, and a new custom body and wiring harness installed. This car still incorporates all the original design drivetrain and is a recreation of a new VW dune buggy as it would be from the 1960s!

Cobra Kit Car

This is a Cobra kit car that a customer recently bought at an auction, and it was brought to us to get some big issues fixed. The car was overheating and barely running. So we replaced the thermostat, took out some silicone that was plugging the water pump, and tuned the carburetor! Runs great and ready for spring!

1935 Chevrolet Truck

This truck was brought to us for some electric repairs. It needed a new wire harness for some addition features and lights. So a new harness was made from scratch to eliminate any old wires and to run all the lights and switches that were necessary. We decided to keep the original 6V system, and just restore all the electronics to working condition!

1979 Honda CB750

A customer came to us with an old, stock Honda motorcycle and a dream to build a show piece. The engine needed rebuilt, so we tore it down, replaced the pistons, bearings, machined the head and block, and all the rest of the wear items were replaced. After assembly, the bike ran like new once again. We can't take credit for the cosmetic work, but it turned into a real show stopper!

1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA

We had a great time building this Trans Am! The customer wanted to install this centrifugal supercharger, so we built the rest of the install kit, piping, upgraded the fuel system, installed the supercharger, intercooler, and lowered the suspension.

1979 Pontiac Trans Am

The owner of this car had it since the early 80's and wanted to bring it back to a Sunday driver. It was sitting for over 30 years, but we rebuilt the car to the beautiful machine it is today.

1953 Buick Special

This Buick was another barn find car from a customer, it hadn't moved in several decades. We did a entire rebuild on the suspension and engine components to make it reliable and drive like new!
