Default Projects in the shop

Been kinda slow on here so i thought i would post some of the projects we have going on in our shop now. This is only a few of the cars many more to come once we get the rest out of storage.


First is a coupe were converting into a vert. Heres the vert shes pretty rough.



Here is the coupe were using, good start pretty rust free and was cheap



Inner rockers and torque boxes in and finally got the top off just still havent done anything with the vert yet should have some progress this weekend






This is my brothers project hes not really all that good with cars this will be the first one hes restoring. It was hit in the passanger side and when the previous owner fixed it but he never welded the new quarter on just riveted it, other then that its really rust free. Also swaping in a 302 and c4.






This one is a 66 i think cant remember for sure ill have to check. We picked this up from the org owner an old guy he had everything for it from when he bought it. Is a compleat car nothing was ever taken off of it. Its a 289, a/c, power steering, 4 speed, posi rear and i think pony interior too.




This is my car. I got rearended over the summer and the insurance company didnt pay out think they gave me 800 dollars. Said the only way they would is if another shop did it should of taken them to court but i didnt. Also it needed one rail and trunk pan, so i though i might as well.















This is my guard cat here overseeing operations making sure things get done.



Also with my 65 im adding a sump tank and ele fuel pump, braided line all the way up, and redoing alot of the wiring, relocating the batt, rebuild on the power steering, and much more. Will add more pictures havent really taken any but wish i would so i have them in the future.

Alot more cars to come as we bring them home this summer. Sould have more pics of the vert conversion this weekend. My dad ended up wanting the vert i bought so its his project now.

idk yet for sure ive got about 1 semester left of math, phy, and generals. I was looking into taking classes in robotics but im unsure now, auto ive stayed away from their program is alot easer they dont have to take any calc based phys besides 1, or as much math down here. What are you looking into?
