The client was very happy with the work we did on the suspension he came back to add some nice touches to the car!

Look at this beauty!!

This 1968 Mustang 289 just rolled into our shop with only 38,000 miles. A true survivor!

The owner is honoring his father's wishes by restoring it back to its glory days. We are grateful to be trusted with a project that carries that kind of history and meaning.

Classic power, simple engineering, and a lot of American miles waiting to be put on it. Cars like this weren't built to sit... they were built to drive.
