We have a few other projects on the go along with this one:

A Maverick full tube chassis drag car. Chassis is back from paint, now we need to finish the tin work and mount the body on the chassis.







A 1970 Camaro Pro Mod drag car, this is a long term project. We work on it when we can.



Garth made this differential from scratch. 3" axel tubes 1/4" thick





A Mid 80's Mustang is coming in very soon for a back half and cage made of chromoly, legal for 7sec passes.

Other small jobs come in once in a while not car related that need to be taken care of in between too.

Oh and thats just the fabrication side of the business....we also rebuild Rotary engines and service most Mazda's as well.

Yeah its been a little while, heres a few more small details that have been accomplished.

Rear quarters are fitted and tack welded in place.



Hinge and gas strut for the trunk lid (sorry about the blurry pics)



Support for the rear panel welded in



3 link figured out and adjustable panhard bar in place




Some rear sheet metal and wheel tubs



Front brakes on the left, the rear's on the right. The rear brakes are actually front C6 Vette caliper/rotors. And the massive fronts are Z06 Vette brakes.
