Trying to get caught up from being away from my computer for a bit. Finishing up the full build on the 1968 catalina, been working on a full custom fab build of a 1959 mga, a little more progress done a cj7, and bringing back to the house a few 1931 caddies that have been hanging out at a friends house till i could get them in.

Nine years ago today was probably one of my favorite builds. When the car has so much history and all with the same family since new.

Originally posted 9 years ago today — and still one of my favorite full-circle moments.

This 1919 Dodge Roadster had been parked since 1939 when the motor blew. Seventy-five years later, I had the honor of bringing it back to life. Watching the owner ease it into the hangar felt like history smiled.

Some stories — and some engines — are built to run again.

Look — and listen — to this beauty.
Nine years ago today, one of my customers took his family’s 1919 Dodge Roadster out for its very first drive since 1939 — the year his great-granddad blew the motor and parked it for good.

After sitting still for 75 years, I had the chance to bring this machine back to life. It took a lot of elbow grease, patience, and heart — but hearing that engine run again made every hour worth it.

Watching it roll back into the hangar that day… it felt like history came home.

Some stories — and some engines — are just too good to leave behind.

Listen to that rumble!

Nine years ago today, one of my customers took his family’s 1919 Dodge Roadster out for its first real drive since 1939 — the year his great-granddad blew the motor and parked it for what everyone thought was the last time.

This beauty sat untouched for 75 years before I had the opportunity to work on it . What came in was a time capsule — tired, worn, and quiet. But under all that dust was a story that deserved a second chance.

It took late nights, busted knuckles, designing, reworking it, and a whole lot of heart to bring her back — but man, hearing that engine breathe again? Watching the great-grandson drive it back into the hangar after all these years? That’s the kind of full-circle moment that makes it all worth it.

Some cars are more than just metal. Some builds carry a legacy. And some engines are just meant to run.

This year has started off with a rush of work and not much time for anything else. So to get everyone caught up. #1968 finish assemble, fit, finish, electrical, brakes, exhaust, fuel injection. starting and ready to run and stop. #1968 sheetmetal reapair, body work and paint. Finally added the to the #1968 /ss then back to the for the #1964.5 mustang for sheetmatel repair and starting body work for prep for paint and made room for a new LARGE addition of a #1951 whoo what a beginning of the year

The 1961 international scout was a lot of, finding old damage that was just twisted and filled over. The damage on the driverside front fender started in the inner structure being bent and out of square to the rest of the body tub. Much loke the old saying the more you fix the more you find wrong. After straightening the front fender moved to the grill/headlight surround from the center to the driverside. The passenger mounted with no manipulation so was a great starting point. Once cut relieving the metal and straightening to gap with the hood the fender to to grill surround had a lot to say.

Merry Christmas to all and all a good night. Celebrating the birth of The Savior, Jesus The Christ.

The was a well loved and worked piece of the customers family. What I always fascinate me about vehicles from the #60's is the dealer options like the custom rear bumper and and the way the spare tire rack moves with the tail gate. So after getting the frame done waiting for the engine to be finished up at the machine shop, I moved onto fitting the fenders, doors, tailgate, roof and the windsheild. You can see how far the fender and grill were ripped apart before the was parked.

After a full disassembly, good cleaning and finishing painting the frame, I started doing the same for the rest of her components. The recieved all new seals, hardware, brake lines, hoses, fuel lines and shocks. I went ahead and checked the lash on both axles and transmission/transfercase, before spaying them in rustconverter primer to help the high gloss engine temp enamel to last longer and stick better to those parts that was so grease saturated and no amount of hot soupy blasting would get it all to come out. This was the easy part for to say the scout was ran through the trees puddied up and sprayed just to do it again was an understatement. I will show you in the next post about this tough work horse.
