This fully restored Ford F3 is in for a few quick items: new wing window, E-brake adjustment, and some trim work. After this she’ll be off to Montana for some July 4th parade time. Wow, is this truck beautiful, or what??

Nicest Rambler in town!

We received this beautifully restored AMC Rambler earlier in the week for some tuning work. The car had a total engine rebuild last year but the motor sputered and ran really rough in the low RPM range and would cut out a lot of the time when taking off from a stop. Dave, our most methodical of mechanics traced the problems back to numerous vacuum leaks and some ignition problems as well. We’ve upgraded the ignition system from the points to a new, “hotter” Ignitor II set up which performs awesome and you’d never know it wasn’t factory. After a valve adjustment, some new vacuum line, and a few new seals, the car runs as smooth as new. I think her owner will be very happy. img_8118
