Well, we are so honored and humbled, we here at Horizon Automotive. We’ve been asked again to part of a families dream. The patriarch started this Mustang project, but sadly passed before he could see it through. So the family was referred to us to pick up the baton and see it through. Just starting the process of graphing a mustang ll front suspension, to bring the steering and brakes up to date. Stay tuned. We’re completely retiring it. Adding a AOD trans that I custom built with a late 4R70 gear stack in it. No lock up. Adding A/C , power steering , power Brakes, then off to the body shop.

Good morning everyone in social distant Facebook land. I hope you are all well and practicing good decisions socially. We here at Horizon Automotive are doing our responsible part in the whole scheme of things. We’re about three weeks in at this point. We are still going to keep offering our complimentary pick up and delivery service to customers within a ten mile radius of our shop in Lakeside. As well as phone in payment service , virtually eliminating human contact. We wipe the car down with disinfecting wipes to eliminate contamination. So feel free to call to set up and appointment. 619-990-1718. Thank You for your support. Blessings to all.

Good afternoon everyone. I’m sending out this post to let everyone know that we at Horizon Automotive understand the strain everyone is under, and to let you know that we are still here and servicing vehicles as needed. As long as our supply chain stays open so will we. We are practicing good protocol for this virus we are all dealing with. Also, I want everyone to know that if you have some sort of vehicle emergency, we will do everything in our power to get you back on the road safely and as inexpensively as humanly possible. I wish everyone well and thank you for your support.
Dwight, and the gang at Horizon Automotive.

One of our favorite projects at Horizon Automotive. We took this project on as a volunteers for the city of El Cajon. Came to us in a basket. Got her rebuilt and running for the mother goose parade a couple years ago. Just got done with a check up for the upcoming mother goose parade this year. Privileged to cross paths with history.

This is a project that was brought in to the shop for and engine upgrade. Going from the stock 4.2L six cylinder engine to a 1991 Stock Chevy 350 TBI V-8. The goal was to clean up the engine bay with repaint and drop in the V-8 with the appearance that it was built this way from the factory. I think we nailed it. The customer was very pleased with the outcome.

This is a project that was brought to me to bring this older street rod build, up to date. We will be adding power steering , power brakes, new upgraded engine, going from a 1975 stock dodge 318 v-8 to a 1993 dodge 5.2L dodge v-8, very mild roller camshaft, balanced and 9:1 compression. We will be upgrading the transmission as well. Going from a standard torque flight 904 to a A-500 torque flight overdrive. To match the drivetrain we will be changing the gear ratio from 3.08:1 to a 3.55:1 to give it a more lively acceleration and compatible final drive for the overdrive.
The other upgrades will have to do with electrical, cleaning up a lot of busyness on the firewall, update the fuse block under the dash, relocating the light switch and changing all the gauges.
