Well it has kinda been in the works for awhile now, but never have made the leap into actually going through with it. And doing it after hours has gotten old when you work at a body shop all day lol. We are working this week getting projects and shop tools etc into the shop but here are a few projects that we are working on and have finished this year.
I will try and post up some updates on some on coming projects that we have coming up. :thumbsup:
60 Impala
Pretty clean car, the passenger side had been hit, looks to be a pretty old repair. but looks to be pretty rust free car.

Good deal. Where is the shop? Hopefully I'll have some more work to send your way in the future.
I saw you had your sbc for sale away back. I'm guessing your doing the LSx swap. If you need any custom harness help or any connectors or anything let me know.

I blame my father for getting me involved in this business and now years later he works for me. I wouldnt change a thing. Its some of the best time spent with him !

very cool. Set up a web page ASAP with as much past work as possible. Also list the owners of the cars and see if they are willing to have their contact info available to potential clients. That way past clients can give direct feed back to new potential clients....
just my 2 cents...

Where is the shop located? I have a custom framed '69 Dart and am considering bringing it to a shop for tin and body work when I get it rolling later this year.

I think we might be moving a little closer to you guys. Not sure how soon, but we are probably going to end up somewhere close to St. Josephs.
When do you plan on having the nova back on the road? I've got my camaro tore back apart right now to add Vintage Air. If I can help with the harness or anything just let me know.
