This 37 Chevy coupe has one objective, "GO FAST". It was purchased out in the prairies and got a complete re-vamp. I rebuilt the firewall to look original but accommodate a Chevy crate, blown big block, along with some floor and tail pan work and re-lead all the seams. In 2006 it was featured on the Discovery Channel.

The little Chevy pickup seen hear had been a work in progress for about twenty years and I actually rebuilt the cab back in the '80's. The owner finally got it on the road in 2006. Boy, I thought I had patience !!! It sports a in-line six that's raced up a little with multiple carbs and a four speed tranny. A nice black paint job adds the perfect final touch. |

There's nothing like a blue 66 Malibu convertible for summer cruising. This sweet little ride is actually owned by my insurance agent. He was delivering a policy out to a rural area to one of his clients and while out in the barn he said "hey, what's under the tarp"? It was all in tact but needed a complete rebuild and even had a dead raccoon or something in the trunk. I finished all the metal work and the body and paint was done by some local talent in town. |

When you say Camaro, the first one that comes to mind is the 69 Z-28. When I was still painting, I sprayed this car when the present owner bought it around 1974. As I recall, at the time the car had 28000 miles on it. I completely done all the metal on it when it got restored about six years ago at which time it had only 48000 original miles on the odometer. The car is numbers matching and always draws a lot of attention. |

This 1937 Pontiac convertible is a rare car because it also has a rumble seat and a trunk. When it came to me there wasn't much holding it together and had suffered what looked like a couple of do-it-your-self body jobs. It received a lot of extensive metal work in my shop and after a primo paint job by their body and paint guy, the owners proudly tour and show this car as well as picking up awards along the way. |

You are looking at one of two Buick convertibles that I have done for this private collector. As always, panel fabrication was the order of the day, especially in the floor pan an body mount area. These cars have a lot of body panel add-ons that are a challenge to align but when it all comes together it defines the difference between a car and a automobile. |

The violent shade of green on this Willys coach suits it to a tee. The center post was removed and I capped the top of the doors and also built a hood and side panels for it. The previous owner, being the "hands on guy" that he is, finished off the remainder of the body work with some help from friends. I hear the car now resides outside the Chicago area. |

This is my own pet project. A true old school hotrod, something that would have been built "Post War and Pre Elvis".
Built form junkyard parts and home fabricated parts. With little or no aftermarket components this is a project worth my attention and patience. So click here to see the rest, cause it worth your attention too.
