Across our nation on Memorial Day, we gather to honor and remember those who gave what Abraham Lincoln called the “last full measure of devotion” in the fight for our liberty; we honor America’s finest men and women who gave their lives in defense of a nation, in defense of its people. Lest we forget

Wednesday Night, Grundy Area Vocational Center(Where I teach Automotive) hosted an awards ceremony to honor our outstanding students. The Auto program awarded one student the "Top Tech of the year" award, for outstanding performance in our program. The recipient received a Homak tool cart donated by our local Napa Auto Parts store, a launch scan tool, a personalized plaque as well as a GAVC gift bag! Our local cruise night association awarded one student a $1,000 dollar scholarship, and we also handed out our monthly directors awards. It was a great night. Congrats to all of our students, and thank you to Napa Auto Parts of Morris, Il as well as the Morris Cruise Night Association.

I got the rear suspension and brakes finished on the 81 vette, she's got that shiny red brake caliper peaking through. Now onto phase 2, the front, got it all disassembled today, assembly begins in the AM. Feels good to be making progress.

Rear disassembly complete, now the fun begins!

Finally finishing up the 1981 C3 Corvette, it's been a long road of shipping delays and other fun stuff, sure is a strange world we live in. The Holley terminator X fuel injection is already installed, next up is the front and rear coilover suspension and trailing arms, then the Wilwood Disc Brakes master cylinder and front and rear brakes! Just glad she will be finished up by the time the snow is off the roads!

The 76 Vette chassis got some new body mount brackets today! Don't ever think that Corvettes don't rust!!

01/23/2022

The 76 Vette engine is almost finished up! Glad to finally be moving along on some of these customer cars again, after a lot of months of waiting on parts! Still waiting on some, but we're getting there!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from American Heritage Garage! We hope you have a blessed day, filled with family, food, thankfulness and love. Especially thinking about those far and away, that can't be with their family and friends today! I am thankful for so much everyday, the list would be far to long to post!

I have been taking Sundays off to mess around with some of my own projects. Over the past few weeks I have been digging into restoring my old 94 GT Performer. I am going the diy route and using old fashioned elbow grease, as opposed to paying a ton of money for new powder coat and rechroming. I am pretty excited with how it is turning out. Stay tuned for the full restoration video!

AHG would like to say a heartfelt Thank You to our Nation's Veterans. Without your sacrifices none of this would be possible!

So I may have accidentally gained a sub hobby! Picked this sweet ride up a few days ago, do you guys know what it is? It won't look like this in a week or so, I have plans! I'm a sucker for nostalgia!

10/17/2021

So, I decided to drag an old friend out of the corner of the shop today! This was my birthday gift in 1994, it needs some love, but it is in pretty good shape for the miles that have been put on it. My friend Indiana Jones once said "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage" (ain't that the truth) Anywho, I think it deserves a "restoration"(like I have time for that) so that is what I am going to do. I wonder if I can find parts for this thing?
