1959
Olds
This
Oldsmobile is getting a complete body off, maximum detail restoration.
All of its options were working when it arrived; Power Brakes, steering,
AC, Autronic Eye (auto headlight dimming), and the portable AM beach
radio that stored in the glove box.
The frame is in its final primer and all panels including the body
are in their first epoxy primer. The seats are reupholstered in
the original red fabric with white leather. All
Chrome parts refinished at Sherms Custom Plating of Sacramento.

1930
Ford Pick Up
This
pick up has hauled more than its share of loads over its life
time and has been given a chance for a new future. A complete
100% disassembly of the project reviled it gave its all during
the last 80 years. Being as cost efficient as possible all
old sheet metal parts that required metal work and body work
that would have exceeded the cost of the new parts were replaced
with very good reproduction pieces. We practiced this philosophy
throughout the project for parts that had repair or refinish
cost greater than their replacement cost. All usable original
parts were stripped, derusted and refinished.
All chassis and drive line components were disassembled, cleaned,
painted and resealed. The engine is receiving a complete overhaul
and balance along with a resurfaced flywheel and new clutch.
All body panels are painted and awaiting a sand and buff treatment.
The seat, door panels and kick panels are finished also.
This project is reaching its final approach to being a great
hauler on the road once again.

Henry
Ford II
Lincoln Continental
This 1956 Continental MKII was owned by Henry Ford II, brother
of Benson. This early model Continental came to us as a haphazard
project in pieces and boxes. It is getting a complete frame off
restoration. Its arrival condition required metal work much more
significant than his brothers, Benson. All metal work was done
to a level to match the original design. The frame was completely
assembled with the overhauled 368ci engine, transmission and all
drive train components, run and checked prior to reinstalling
the body. The car is black with a cloth top. The grey broad cloth
and black leather with red piping interior was completely redone
to the original design and material types by Tom McFadden of Bitchin
Stitchin of Central Florida. The chrome was redone at Sherms Custom
Plating in Sacramento, California. We are in the final stages
of assembly to give this project its second chance to be with
its brothers cars.
