Some of the current stuff we've been working on at the shop.

Newest pics from the bagged classic Ford F100 build. Got the complete chassis fully painted after sand blasting with some solid industrial satin black to seal the deal. Up next, firewall painting and full re-assembly. More pics to come soon!

Front frame section under the crossmember for the '51 Coupe we did today. Cut out the wrinkled damaged section after heating and straightening before we applied a new custom cap we fabricated.

Been doing some serious multi-tasking here recently. Forward progress on the old skool Ford custom truck build as well as the '51 two door Coupe and '53 BelAir.
For the Ford we got the power brake booster and Wilwood master cylinder mocked up on the newly shaved firewall as well as the ididit steering column adapter on the front floor panel. As you can see in the pics, we also had to custom fab the new floor braces on the Ford for proper fitment.
Beyond that however, all 3 frames are back from sandblasting and looking badass.
And of course, to top it off... snuck in some nice pics of the Apache hanging out looking beautiful as can be.

Metalwork to clean up the firewall for the Ford is done. Relocated the battery and got rid of the heater core/blower motor assembly which we are replacing with a new Vintage air setup. The brake booster is still in the original area but with an upgrade to a power disc brake & vacuum brake booster setup for the new brake system. We also filled and smoothed any random holes and deleted the parking brake as well.

One of our current shop builds. Old skool Ford F100. Full air suspension with No Limit Engineering traditional parallel 4-link in the rear and IFS suspension up front. Engine and drive train features a Mustang 302 fuel injected motor with a new model Ford transmission and rear end assembly. We are also upgrading the brakes to 4 wheel disc brakes as well. As for the wheels, we will be running a set of Detroit 20" steel wheels on typical black and white rubber.
Currently, we are still kicking around exact ideas on engine appearance, however, we already have the firewall shaved and cleaned up tremendously.
Stay tuned for work in progress pics of the build as we move along with this project.

Night shots that were taken within minutes of the truck rolling out of the bay doors as a whole once the rebuild was completed. It looks so stunning in person. Pics just don't do it the proper justice. A lot more detailed pics of the freshly reborn Apache to come soon!
