Dave’s 1960 Caddy..

You all asked to stay updated so
Here we are we’ve been busy. Here there and well everywhere.

Since the rear brake conversion, we’ve installed the power brakes(master/booster) and Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve, stainlees steel brake lines, and copper alloy fuel hard lines.

Started building and mocking up the AN lines for the transmission cooler, power steering lines, MSD ignition mock ups ect.

As well we dropped in the 500ci motor..

a lot more to do, make, plan design, fabricate.

The Ford Mustang 5.0 what an exhaust note….

Tanners 5.0 came in for some power upgrades..

Kooks SS Headers and X pipe, as well as a Steeda cold air Intake. Tanner was blown away by the sounds as well as the install. While photos of everything are important the sound of the Coyote is what we are after here. He loved it we loved it? What about you?

Looking for the photos? See the comments

Jack’in up Ford Trucks

Our buddy Kaige wanted some aggressive tire installed… but we ran into some problems.. he had high hopes the tires he ordered would fit but unfortunately they needed some help.

We had previously installed a leveling kit for him to bring up the truck, but after we were done we felt the rear needed some attention. But gave the truck a chance to settle in first.

Since the 35’s need some more room it was time to order some parts. 1.5” hub centric wheel spacers where added, with a 1” lift block with correct pinion angle installed to bring the rear to where the front not stood.

We thing the befor and after is pretty stark and looks exectly what Kaige was looking for what about you?

We got a call the other day, asking if we could beat dealership rates as well as if we could take care of some belts and maintenance items that a dealer had recommended. As well to make sure these items where in fact needed.

After discussing what was recommended and confirming the milage. We were able to knock off a few items that still had some time befor they needed to be done per the factory maintenance schedule. While also confirming the client did need their belts replace.

Small jobs, big job, custom jobs, or just plain maintenance we got you cover, affordable and fixed right the first time.

Our buddy Dave sent us another project after his C10. His 1960 Caddy..

While this is a huge project we are starting off with the small stuff first. To start things off we converted the rear drum brakes to disc brakes. Next is to re-plum the car with stainless steel brake and fuel hard lines then we’ll can everything off with AN lines to the carb and power steering system.

Once completed we’ll start the complete rewire and then drive line install. Stay tuned for more updates as we move along on this project.

Fender Benders…

A friend of ours unfortunately met with a deer.. by accident. We’ve helped out their some other of their family members.. and once they heard what was going on they said hey call Mike!

Once we made contact and arranged to look over the damage we reassured our client it was nothing major and a few new body panels later and some paint all would be well. 

Befor and After.

All your automotive needs in one spot.

This 1966 Ford Thunderbird was in for an old school shim Alignment. And not your GM style upper control arm shim kit either.

The Thunderbird is adjusted via the lower control arm.

Alittle bit of this and that we got her all straight running down the road again.

We appreciate the trust and opportunity to work and such a great classic!
