Huge progress on the EH build, with the body rust repairs completed. The lh rear corner of the car was especially bad, with many hours to get back to solid metal once again.
Next step is to prep and get it all back into epoxy.

Our shop truck is nearing completion after several years of dedicated after-hours work. Initially, the project commenced with rust repairs and a 4WD swap, which eventually evolved into a comprehensive overhaul of the entire vehicle, encompassing a new Cleveland engine and Holley Sniper EFI installation. The scope of the project expanded beyond initial expectations, but we are now approaching the final stages of completion.

While operating in a much reduced capacity, a few jobs are still progressing through the workshop. Major rust repairs are underway on the EH Holden. And recently, a mechanical overhaul for a very cool 1940 Ford hotrod. Having been originally rodded in the late 70s, we looked to preserve the car, by retaining as much as possible of the original build. Brakes, steering, cooling system, wiring, fuel system, engine and even the doors, all received work, to ensure the old Ford can be enjoyed for many more years to come.

Small announcement, unfortunately we are no longer able to offer painting services due to our painter unexpectedly sustaining a significant injury which will require an extensive recovery period.
We apologise for the inconvenience however we can recommend other options of auto refinishers who provide exceptional work.

Update: we are currently closed for the near future, awaiting some building repairs to take place.
So here are a few progress pics of our 48 Ford as it was progressing. Starting with a good acid wash to remove a lot of the rust staining, with some fresh satin black laid down in the engine bay and on the floor. Next was fabricating Hurst style mounts for the 351w c4 combo. These mounts pick up the factory chassis mounting holes at the front of the engine.
The engine and trans combo were chosen due to their size and fitment within the chassis centre X frame, avoiding the need to cut out and replace, what is a good, strong factory centre section.
