1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This thing is a head turner. It came to us for many reasons as the customer wanted some upgrades. We installed and wired in a Dakota digital gauge set to get rid of all the mini gauges added over the years. Upgraded the steering wheel, repaired wiring to the dome light and ajar switches, replaced the fuel tank with a stainless tank and sending unit, front disc brake work, rebuilt the carburetor, installed LED headlights for night time safety. Serviced and repaired the leaking transmission, repaired the wiper transmission linkages, repaired a leaking rear differential, installed new missing horn assemblies, upgraded to high torque mini starter, replaced the rear view mirror, and had it aligned. The Customer drove off feeling like he now has his dream car.

1960 Chevrolet Apache 2500. What gorgeous truck. It came in with a wiring issue. The turn signals were at times inop. And other times would not shut off. After some diagnosis we found the switch and and wiring in column to be faulty. With some careful re-wire, and proper switch installation we were able to g*t the turnaround operating correctly.

This gorgeous 1987 Flame Red Corvette convertible came to us with heavy scratches damage in the convertible top hatch due to faulty patches that top clips into. We remove the hatch cover, repaired the damage and replaced both left and right side latchesw/bezel and color match and repainted the hatch lid. We also put on an adhesive paint protective film around the latches and where the top rests down on the hatched. This is to help prevent future paint scratches and chips from put the top up and down.

**DISCLAIMER***
1. We are changing wheels on this truck due popular vote that the ones on it dont look right on the truck. So we are pushing a polished aluminum type on instead. The will be be zFriday 6/6/25. We will update pics.

2. So due to key board car show judge comments, we feel the need is necessary to mention. Yes the truck needs a few minor items to be completed. Items that are still on order. Or waiting for materials, or the time needed to paint the glove box and ash tray door. Guys they are not on there because, they are in the shop getting prepped for paint. It's going to be ok. Emblems and tailg*te moldings are on the way. These items were not forgotten or over looked. The tickets are dated and we had to post pics in midst of waiting for certain items. Let's not forget this supposed to be a fun thing for the community. Save the less than positive comments.
