Show Room:
The show room is used to display production chassis, recently completed customer cars, and cars for sale. We also have crate engines, antique gas pumps, pedal cars, Cushman scooters and a few other things for sale. It changes pretty much daily, so there are a lot of different pictures below depending on which cars are in the shop.

We found a guy on eBay selling NOS bilboards from the 50's through late 60's. There is a shot of an original 57 Chevy billboard in the showroom and a killer '67 Camaro later in the shop.

Here are a few pics of the side of the shop where all of the fab work takes place.

About that Charger.... That car isn't really supposed to be seen until it debutes. The owner does not want it getting out. I didn't realize it was in the picture before I uploaded it

The challenger is in paint now. it has a 528 Aluminum Hemi by Indy backed by a TKO 600. Tubular K member with IRS. The bumpers have been sectioned, narrowed, and mounted flush with the body. we removed the headlight doors at the edges of the fenders and made that part of the fender. Same with the front edge molding on the hood. fabbed a lower valance and spoiler. The body is shaved and smoothed. fabbed a sheet metal spoiler for the deckild and tops of 1/4 panels. a lot of other areas worked as well. I have to get around to starting a thread for that car. there are a few pics on our web site.
