1965 Factory Five Cobra

This fine looking Cobra came it with a bit of a stalling issue and a blown head gasket. We’re going to install some higher quality gaskets with nice race studs and we’ve already rebuilt the carb and solved the stalling issue. img_09821

1982 Porsche Carrera Targa

Pictured is a  Porsche Targa with that came in with a “no-start” problem. We found that the ignition control module was totally INOP which is a common “no-start” cause on these older air-cooled 911′s . We’ll also be changing all of the fluids and addressing a few minor issues. img_0718Pictured is our new technician Joe,  who claims to work best under the influence of Mozart – notice the headphones. Very interesting indeed…

1947 Plymouth restoration

Filed under: Car Service — noah @ 10:09 am

Everything came together pretty well on this motor with the exception of the crank. The original had a hairline fracture and finding a new one was quite the chore. Luckily after 3 attempts we located a crank in Atlanta that was in good condition and now the motor is back together and ready to be dropped back in the car.img_00301k into the car.
