    Something different a 1979 custom Jeep CJ7

    Someone else attempted to paint this House of Kolors Brandywine. Customer said they ran out of paint but it was ready for paint, just needed to sand and paint. Marvin started block sanding and found a lot of small dents. There was no way we would paint it in my shop without fixing the dents. The...

    1936 Ford Sedan will be painted SPI Red

    This 1936 Ford was built back in the 1990's and has been in the family a long time. The owner got it when his father in law passed away in 1997. It looks good but his grandkids scratched it in a few places plus it had a few other issues. I met him at a car show and he said he wanted it...

    Epoxy on wood floor in trailer

    I bought a new enclosed trailer to haul my race car. My 1993 Pace trailer was looking bad and will be used for storage. I was thinking of painting the wood floor with a brush using gray epoxy will that work or is there a better way to coat the floor? I have never used it on wood and need to...

    This was Kathy's first car a 1969 Mustang that her Dad bought new for her when she was in high school and it has been in the family ever since.

    Brian did the rust repair and I did the bodywork and sprayed 3 coats of SPI Viper Red and 6 coats of Universal clear in 2007. It still looks like it was just painted and now can be seen driving around Blairsville Ga.

    1965 Mustang Roadster

    I've had this 1965 Mustang convertible for years and robbed parts off it that weren't available at the time. At one time I thought about making it a fastback but that would be expensive. The engine compartment looks to be solid. I saw a Ford concept photo of a shortened 2 seat 1965 fastback...

    1965 Mustang Restomod Convertible

    Reliable trucking delivered this 1965 Convertible for a customer from Va November 2018. At first this looked like a very nice Mustang with very little rust but you can tell it wasn't a good paint job. She still wants it painted "Baby Blue" and mostly stock on the outside. Her Husband is building...

    1994 Mustang GT

    We don't usually work on newer Mustangs but this one belongs to Brian. It was painted a few years ago with the original SPI pure white but has been in storage and never finished painting it. We still have a lot of exterior trim and bumpers to paint. He wants to make this his daily driver.

    Cobrastang

    I bought Ken McLellan's Cobrastang 1969 SS/G factory backed Mustang in 1973 on the way home from the Winternationals in Pomona. Ken got out of Drag Racing when he lost his Ford sponsorship. Ken set the SS/G record many times, the record was 11.09 when I got it. In 1971 Ken won Super Stock at the...

    Problem with 3M Platinum

    I have been using Marson now 3M Platinum for years with no problems but lately I have had a problem. I finish the bodywork and spray with epoxy primer and wherever there is filler there are a bunch of pin holes or solvent pop. It doesn't matter if I wait 3 hours or 3 days to prime same results...

    1969 Mustang race car that I have owned since 1970

    Mustang is back at the shop. Need to do a lot of work getting it ready to race in A/SA or B/SA. The 428 CJ will be on the dyno later this week. I painted this in 2005 using SPI clear and it has never been waxed. It has been in an enclosed trailer for 6 years in the Florida heat. I wasn't sure...
