47 Chevrolet Coupe



This latest project is a 47 Chevy Coupe. I have started with complete dis-assembly of the body and interior. The drivetrain and suspension has also been removed. Next I will sodablast
the entire car to
remove 50 years of
grime. The old girl is in pretty good shape
and should make a nice ride. Plans include frenched fenders and headlights. Custom hood treatment. Stock grill. Driprail removal. Radiused door , hood and trunk corners. Suicide doors. Stock taillights. MII front suspension with coilovers or bags.







































Under the hood will be a Big Block from a 1971 Chevelle. Mated to a beefed up 2004r and hooked to a Ford 9 inch with 4 link to keep it on the pavement.

73 V W SB








I bought this car for $75 from a local salvage yard. Stripped it bare. Cut the top off with a sawsall. Chopped the windshield frame 3". Turned the doors around the way they belong. Did a few other body and interior mods. Put in a hot little 1776cc with dual Del's and four wheel disc from a Karman Ghia. This is the most fun I've ever had!!!
I am currently rebuilding this car.

1955 Oldsmobile Holiday 98















This is a 1955 Oldsmobile Holiday 98, 4 door hardtop. The first thing we did was remove it from the frame. The frame was sandblasted to remove 50 years of grease and rust. Next the frame was powdercoated black and all new components were added. Brakes, bearings, coil and leaf springs, shocks, kingpins and bushings. The stock v-8 engine was rebuilt, as was the Hydromatic transmission. The car came from the factory with all the power options. Power Seats, Power Windows, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Antenna. Air Conditioning. Padded Dash and Wonderbar Radio. Next, all the rust was removed from the body panels, inside and out. Each panel was then straightened, primered and blocked until smooth. It was then given several coats of red and white base, clearcoated & color sanded and buffed to a brillant gloss. The interior was changed a bit from stock, but turned our rather nice. The car is owned by James Anderson of Cedar Hill, Texas
