Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible

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 Convertible Series 62 Restoration

Here’s a great example of a rare 1941 Cadillac convertible.  It’s a solid car and a good driver, but won’t be bringing any trophies today.  Before it’s all said and done this car will have a new leather interior with period correct stitching, and will be taken down to the metal for all new paint and to get through any mistakes or short-cuts of the past.  Complete cosmetic restoration here we come!
Some light damage to the wheel covers.

The begining.  A good solid Cadillac, but starting to show the age of its last restoration.
