As always things have been crazy around the shop. We just had finished up the 29 Model A that won HROTY at Indy and are working on getting a few cars done for Columbus Goodguys.. Here are pics of a 72 Chevelle we are building for Pittsburgh Steeler Kendall Simmons. As you can see in the pics the car needed extensive metal work, basically all panels were replaced with new Goodmark steel including a entire roof transplant.. The body rests on a Art Morrison chassis with full ART suspension and Wilwood brakes. We know how much you guys like pics so sit back and enjoy..The pics will show the car from the start through full mock up and assembly. Multiple posts to follow.

We cut the hood all apart to put our own touch on it.. We had the hood pins/locks machined and they work on the same concept and the gas caps that you push down and twist then they pop up so you can unscrew them. As you can see countless hours were spent making the hood what we had envisioned.
