    Patrick emailed me said he wanted to show me his 51 Ford Wagon, I couldn’t wait to see it.
    I had no idea I was getting to see a Woody Wagon!
    It was tucked away in a little 2 car garage at his house, and has been in his family since 1956!!
    Little rough, but its all there including the original Flathead V8 and was still be driven just a few years ago.
    It spent most of its years in New York, only in Wisconsin for a few years now.
    We got it back to the shop, and will start making a game plan for it.
    Keep it as is (Barn find fresh) or completely restore it???? Your Thoughts??? :)

    Just got back from picking up Brian’s 74 Dart again.
    It’s back for pulling out the bench seat and installing some fresh bucket seats,
    upgrading all the gauges to Autometer in a nice carbon fiber dash insert, and swapping out the carb.
    Thanks again Brian! We appreciate your continued business!!!!

    Beautiful 1971 Corvette that arrived for a Vintage A/C upgrade.
    This car was just recently sold by Vintage Motorcars in Sun Prairie to a very nice couple from Illinois.
    We’ll have this completed and on the road for them to enjoy before the warm weather arrives

    The pictures of the GTO were the customers garage just before we loaded it, but yes, we are running out of room.
    Just finishing 2 projects up that will be leaving, so that will help, and a 1971 Corvette came in for Vintage air.
    Very nice to be this busy. And I thank you again for allowing us to work on your ’36

    Took advantage of the warm weather Monday to move some cars around in the shop.
    Thought this was a neat pic with a few cars outside for a couple minutes

    Barn find 1967 Charger. In storage in an airplane hanger for over 14 years.

    This one gets a new Hemi Crate motor and overdrive trans, we’ll also take out the torsion bar front end and go to
    coil overs all around with Wilwood or Baer 4 wheel disc brakes
