Well, the journey is over. This beautiful Cutlass is about to go home. It turned out so nice! This build is one of our best so far. We did all the metal work,body work, and paint. We installed a new convertible top and a Dakota Digital instrument cluster. We installed a complete new interior. I also learned how to straighten stainless steel trim and polish it. This car is looking amazing. Check out the photos and let us know what you think.

Sorry I haven’t been posting lately we have been flat out this year. The Oldsmobile cutlass is so close to the finish line. The last parts for the convertible top have finally arrived. We have had so many amazing machines come through for various repairs or upgrades. We are having a blast. Check out a few that we have seen.

1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible has finally inched a bit closer to the finish line. Lots of metal work and body work but it’s as straight as an arrow now. The colour is something to see in person. It is gorgeous! Can’t wait to get it reassembled.

2012 Ram 3500 mega cab has lots of miles left in it but the rockers and cab corners were getting bad. I cut off the old rocker then opened the middle section to access the inner rocker. I was able to remove all the rust and treated everything inside with a rust converter. Then I welded on the new parts and with minimal bodywork prepped the lower area for paint. It turned out very nice! Just a small departure from the regular restorations I do but it’s still a restoration.

I’m slowly making progress on the 68 Cutlass. I’m so close to welding in the 1/4 panels. Just a little bit more prep on the panels then I can start. Next week will be full of hammer and dolly work.

A friend had a bad day driving out from BC back to Alberta for Christmas. I helped him by giving his old truck a new lease on life. A lot is just lipstick but it does look a lot better.

2025 was another awesome year with so many great people and cars coming to my shop. We were able to send a long term project home this fall. The 1974 Porsche 914 was completed. We saw some new cars to the shop this year and a few repeat customers. Thank you everyone for trusting us with your great rides.

The last week gave us a new project to start on. We were able
to get this 1971 Corevette dismantled and a parts list organized so that this car can be brought back from a fire this last summer.
