Ralph’s 41 Ford is getting ready for some big cuts. Ralph is a big guy so we are going to make him more room to the tune of 8”. Wheelbase has already been extended. We had some help from Chris Piscitelli, Piscitelli Design , getting proportions sorted out on paper before the cutting begins. We will be lengthening the doors 4”, extending the body behind the doors 4” and chopping the top 2”. 1” through the windows and 1” out of the roof skin.

Fruin’s Chevy is ready to roll out. We finished the floor pan, mounted the seats and shifter, painted the firewall and rad support, installed gas tank and plumbing, installed the engine, trans and driveshaft, and got everything up and running. It’s been a long road for this car, hopefully Jason will complete the build soon!

The full custom Duesenburg II is back in the shop for finishing. What a beast and a cool project. We have done an incredible amount of work on this car already. All the fenders were modeled at the shop, we made the molds and layed up the fiberglass. Dylan made the faux side exhaust and it’s amazing! We chopped the brass windshield and the folding top mechanism. We added air suspension and many other custom features. The is powered by a 460 ford as it was originally. Duesenburg II, look it up.
