This gorgeous Galaxie 500 convertible needed a complete front end suspension rebuild. After pulling all of the components off the car, we blasted and refinished them in satin black prior to re-installation. Check out the photos!

1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Rewiring
PB’s 1941 Cadillac is easy on the eyes, but she’s in need of new wiring. Judging by their eroded and aging appearance, the wires we’re replacing are those of the car’s original fixings! Replacing nearly 70 years of old wiring will notably help this vehicle’s reliability and safety. Pictured below is the used and new wiring; notice the drastic contrast between the old/new metal and cables.
-
- old corroded wires
-
- frayed cables
-
- wiring harnessed to the front fender
-
- view underneath the dash

NASCAR!
Shown is a NASCAR, Car of Tomorrow from the Hall of Fame racing team. They were affiliated with Yates Racing last year and featured Bobby Labonte as their driver. We’re not sure what their plans are for next year, but we have been put in charge of storing the car in our showroom -
This isn’t the first kind-of-maybe-famous car we’ve stored. Here are some other almost great automobiles:
Dan Rather’s 1990 Oldmobile Cutlass Ciera
Ricardo Monteban’s “fine Corynthian Leather” Chrysler Cordoba
Kim Jong Il’s “Mini Dictator Edition” nuclear Power Wheel
Frank Sinatra’s cousin’s sister’s friends’ Aston Martin

Custom aluminum gauge surround
Shown is a custom made gauge surround piece that was fabricated out of aluminum. First the design was laid out in AutoCad and then the piece was cut with a water jet. Next the aluminum was anodized in black and finally we had the Hellcat emblem laser etched into the new anodized finish. The result is a crisp, bright white image and a nice finish piece for the interior.

2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
We just picked up this car for a good customer in California that we assisted in special ordering the car a few months back. She’s certainly the most capable Corvette we’ve ever driven and agreeably the most serious production Corvette that GM has ever turned out.
You can throw around horsepower numbers all day long but how about a 7:26.1 Nurburgring lap record? Pretty impressive. Watch the video here:

Premium Paint Service prep work
Shown is the prep work for our Premium Paint service on a 911 Porsche SC. The Premium paint service is a great process that can can remove a variety of scratches and really rejuvenates tired paint jobs. The 3M buffing compound that we use leaves a lot of dust and splatter so we like to tape off all of the windows and vents to make clean up quick and easy. In a world of gimmicky car products, we’ve found that 3m makes the absolute best paint products on the market! Time and time again we keep saying the same line, “you really get what you pay for!”

1969 Camaro custom aluminum valve covers
These 1969 Camaro custom aluminum valve covers just arrived back from getting some final etching performed. We thought they looked good but we had to get Burt Reynold’s approval to be absolutely sure. Here is a photo from our video conference yesterday. Stay tuned for some great looking interior pieces that should be in next week.
