PICS OF PROJECTS, PAST AND PRESENT (this page may load slow due to graphics)
Most of these pics are of work that I have done for other people, I seldom have time to work on my own projects.

38 Chevy: 1st place in its class at the 1995 Detroit Autorama. And a Street Rodder Magazine pick award.

This truck came into the shop as a cab and chassis.
I shaved the door handles, fabbed the rear suspension, built the stainless bumpers, fabbed the inst. panel, installed a 37 Dodge box, made the roll pan, hidden fuel filler, wiring, tail light panel and tailgate
the owner did the nice leather interior, twead bed upholstery and bed cover. this is a subtle Rod with some nice touches.

Some of my polished stainless exhaust work.
Hand formed bowtie tips and stainless tube.

The start of a 68 F-100 pro street truck
I installed lincoln front suspension, built a triangulated four link rear suspension..........

......the near finished 68, 460 with a C-6, tilt column, shaved and smooth...........The owner gets the credit for finishing this beautiful truck.

My 72 Shorty
This truck was my daily transportation for a few years. It has a Z'd frame in the rear, and lincoln suspension up front lowering it 7 inches. powered by a 390 backed by aC-6

My nephew Robert- Certified Jr. Shade Tree Mechanic. I think he needs to chop the top on that coupe!!!

The big three
I pro streeted the CK pick up, installed a vortech supercharger on the 502.......installed a 428 in the 64 Falcon......light resto, detail work on the mopar.

An early shot of the suspension, frame narrowing on the truck to the left.

Some more of my stainless work.
notice how the stainless lake pipes follow the body. This gradual bow was made by strapping both pipes to a board on a hoist, chain the pipes and board to the floor and CAREFULLY raise the hoist.

Another pic of the 40 Merc conv.
This car was at the first Detroit Autorama, these pics were taken at the 40th Autorama after restoration to its former glory. This car has some smooth body work and mile deep black paint. Got to love the way those show lights shine on black!!

A pic of my 51 Panhead project
I traded a 72 sporty and a basket 73 sporty for this bike. It only had one rod and half a piston left in the engine when I got it. It had a hole in the cases that you could throw a large cat through. I have repaired the cases but I'm building an 88 in. stroker with new Delkron cases and S&S lower end, andrews cam, and STD heads. The narrow front end is going in favor of a hydro-glide front end.
I hope to finish it soon(after I win the lotto).

My newest project........like I need another project!!!!!!
27 Ford Tudor. Someone started to rod this with a Buick turbo V-6, I'm putting a 390 Tri-power in it after I fab a new chassis.

This is the 390 Tri-Power that I intend to put in the 27 T to the left.

Restoration progress pic of a 36 Dodge. I fabbed new rocker panels and hammered out 60 yrs. worth of dents on this one.

Another shot of the Dodge.

One of the current projects: I have the rear clip installed, presently adding the roll cage, and interior sheetmetal.

The owner wants a 510 bbc, 4spd, and custom engine compt. panels

40 Dodge waiting to go under the knive.

40 Dodge in surgery.

Plenty of head room now!!!

As I sold it-Nov,2000. I needed to free up some space.
The new owner got a deal!!

My 56 Willys wagon-327 Chevy power, slowly converting to 2wd and lowering.

My 58 Willys/Fairmont Hy-Rail.
This truck was built by Willys then shipped to Fairmont Mn. where it was set up for railroad service. This one will remain near stock and serve as a parts chaser.

My old 31 Ford crew cab.
I bought a AA and it had a pair of coupe doors lying on the original flat bed. The doors came with the truck so I might as well put em on, right.

Early mock up of the 31crew cab.
I traded this one for the 27 Tudor project. Dad will take care of it now!

The begining of my trailer towing truck.
One well rusted 77 F-250 crew cab...........

....One streched F-150 reg. cab, a bunch of welding.........
