A beautiful piece of American history just rolled through the shop. 🇺🇸

This 1965 Ford Galaxie was recently purchased by its new owner and shipped to us for a full inspection and maintenance before heading to its new home.

Our goal with this car was simple: keep it reliable while preserving its original, period-correct look.

Here’s what we took care of:• Full fluid service• New belts and hoses• Resealed a few leaks• Replaced the exhaust system• Installed new shocks• Serviced the brake system• Corrected the operation of the aftermarket gauges

Everything was done with the intention of keeping the car looking just the way it should — classic, clean, and true to its era.

1932 Ford | Cadillac 500 | Custom Exhaust & Safety Upgrades

This ’32 Ford rolled into the shop running a Cadillac 500 and side pipes, but the customer wanted a full exhaust routed out the back. Tight chassis, big motor, zero room… challenge accepted.

We custom-routed 3” stainless exhaust with electric cutouts, tucked cleanly out the rear while keeping proper clearance throughout. Along the way, we found the brake and fuel lines were in rough shape, with multiple areas raising safety concerns. After reviewing everything with the customer, we decided the right move was to replace all brake and fuel lines—giving us proper routing, improved safety, and a much cleaner overall look.

To make everything work together, we also:
• Corrected rack & pinion mounting and interference issues
• Shortened the steering column and re-routed the steering shaft around the new exhaust
• Reworked A/C hoses, heater hoses, and electrical routing for proper clearance and reliability

1972 Datsun 240Z – Ready for Summer ☀️

This beautiful 1972 Datsun 240Z was purchased online by our customer and shipped to our shop so we could go through it thoroughly and make sure everything was right from day one.

Good call on that decision 👍 During our inspection and maintenance process, we found the coolant needed to be serviced to ensure proper freeze protection and overall cooling performance. We also addressed a few other fluids and made several key adjustments to get the car dialed in.

Now that it has has been sorted, checked, and road-ready. We’ve delivered it back to the customer, and this classic Z is ready to be enjoyed all summer long.

Fresh out of the shop — this 1956 Corvette is back on the road and running exactly how it should.

This car spent an extended period in storage, so our goal was simple: go through every system and bring it back to reliable, factory-correct driving condition.

Here’s what we tackled:
🔧 Drained and cleaned the entire fuel system
🔧 Removed the 2×4 intake and carb setup and reinstalled a freshly rebuilt original intake and carburetor
🔧 Set the valves
🔧 Pulled spark plugs, checked compression, installed fresh plugs, and set timing
🔧 Completely disassembled the brake system
• Rebuilt wheel cylinders
• NOS replacement master cylinder
• Drum brakes adjusted correctly
🔧 Replaced the rear differential with a Posi-trac unit
🔧 Flushed and serviced the cooling system

The result is a C1 Corvette that starts easily, runs clean, stops confidently, and stays true to its original character — exactly how these early Corvettes deserve to be driven.

A true custom from the golden era of hot rodding.
This 1946 Ford was built by Boyd Coddington in the late ’90s, and it still shows the timeless design and attention to detail that defined that period of high-end customs.

We had it in the shop to sort out the cooling fan operation, updating the fan controller to improve reliability and keep temperatures in check—without disturbing the original look and feel of the build.

Always a privilege to work on cars with this kind of history. Classic craftsmanship, modern reliability, done right.

This Superformance Cobra rolled in with some drivability issues, and it didn’t take long to find the culprit — a compromised distributor showing rust and excessive shaft play. Along with being an older Edelbrock EFI system.

We updated the car with the latest Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 ECM, new wiring harness, and distributor, then dialed everything in using the Bluetooth tuning app. After a few solid test drives before winter hit, this Cobra is running exactly the way it should.

All set and waiting for summer.

This beautiful GT350 tribute came in for some maintenance and upgrades to keep it driving as good as it looks. We tuned the carburetor, replaced the steering wheel, and upgraded the exhaust to a period-correct side-exit setup — it sounds amazing now! We also replaced the front springs and dialed in the alignment for a proper stance and improved handling.

Always great seeing these classic Mustangs getting the attention they deserve!

This 1964 Chevelle rolled in with a misfire, and we tracked it down to a burned spark plug wire. 🔧 We replaced the plugs and wires, gave the carburetor a proper tune, and had it running smooth again in no time. Quick turnaround to keep this classic ready for car show season!

This beautiful 1965 Mustang convertible pro touring car came into the shop for some maintenance as well as concerns with the brakes and exhaust. After a full inspection, we put together a repair plan to make sure the car is safe and road-ready.

✔️ Modified the exhaust system for better serviceability and improved the hangers
✔️ Changed the oil and checked all fluids
✔️ Adjusted the brake & clutch pedal
✔️ Went through the brake system to improve stopping power

It’s ready to hit the road again, and we’re looking forward to having it back in the future for the rest of the upgrades we have planned!
