Sweet Rides

We work on so many kinds of projects at the shop. Aside from redoing her roof, we put the black details around Tina's car. There was no kit, so we did it by hand. Came out killer, and really tied it all in, making Tinas ride even sweeter! This was her dads car!




Then we've got the full custom restore of Scotty'S custom wagon. Brents been workin his arse off to get this thing tip top!

Got the Bug in Blue

Got her in the beautiful original eggshell blue



The flash didnt do the rich blue color justice

started wetsanding the orange peel out

this pic does the color better justice..the real deal will be seeing it on the street in the sun!

Seal the Deal

back to business after a long memorial weekend. With all the parts sandblasted and cleaned it was time to seal the bug





the body up on crates for its turn


With the bug entirely sealed its time to move on to the body work

a bug without wings

the shells off the pan,

so we did an exchange today, the body for the fenders, hood etc.


looking good, clean and beautifully sandblasted


The 72 shell, off for its turn to the sandblaster

The day flew by, and boy are its arms tired

Today we really got down to the bare bare bones, pulled out the entire dashboard and steering column along with all the wiring


Getting the motor out and then we'll be entirely ready to remove the body from the pan. Hope to have this picked up and taken to the sandblasters tomorrow!

Buggin' On

today we ripped out the entire interior


you never know what u find when you start tearing down to the barebones, as u can see there's alot rust along the floorboards. And look we found when we took the battery out......

the hole on the lest is where the glove box used to be

we've been workin' like a dog to get this bug dismantled
