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.
