Corvette ,Cobra,Camaro Z28, Caddy, ZR2























Here's a few more builds at the shop . The gold ZR2 sold at Barrette Jackson for $325,000 this year and was done at the shop a few years ago . I wired in a late modle engine in this 79 Z28 and it turned out nice . Best of everything in the suspension and disc brakes all around . We've been restoring this 48 caddy when we have the time . The maroon big block that Mike just finished and me standing by the silver 66 frame and grinding on the 68 Cobra fenders .













396 Chevelle




Here's a 396 chevelle I put quarters on . It was a rust bucket from the east coast ! Have the frame done and engine in and about ready to start it up soon also , will have to get some pics of the done frame up this week but my camera batteries ran low. fender ,doors and hood about smoothed down good but the body is still sitting on saw horses ans still needs a lot of block sanding .



Here's a 66 we're doing for a gentleman locally .About ready to start the engine on this frame this week . Need to drop the body this week as we're trying to get this one and the 68 ready for
boomington this year . I'm almost ready to start a 396 Chevelle on the frame as we are trying to have it ready for the Mayfest ! Running out of time thats for sure .

Here's Mike and Adam checking the L88 as we start to strip it down . I've got it ready to be pulled off the frame this week and have most of the paint stripped off as we are waiting for parts for our other builds . The frame was done a couple of years ago and is'nt too bad . We'll streighten up a few bolts and plate a couple of things but all in all not too bad .

Here's a 68 L89 big block vette out of California we're doing a full restoration on trying to make Bloomington car show . We have the frame ready and will be starting the engine next week . Already have the first coat of base on it this week also .The last 68 Mike built went for 137,000 at Barrett Jackson this year but did'nt even place at the O'fallon car show . Hopefully he'll do better with the 64 red small block this year .

1968 Shelby 428 Cobra Mustang


Here we have a 68 comming into the shop from Omaha for complete restoration .In front of that is a 69 L88 Corvette from Omaha for a body off paint job .I've already stripped the Mustang down to bare metal and yhe vette body ready to come off and most of the paint stripped of of it . My back has had enough this week ,so thought i would take the day off and show a few pics...............................................Grover
