Resilience 1952 Buick
09/24 2009 Posted in Cars | 0 comments
Starting with a 1952 Buick Riviera (Model 45R), Resilience is a custom car built with reverence to the custom car culture, its pioneers, and above all, the design and excitement that embodied the mid-20th century. While the car retains those elements commonly associated with a custom car, it grew to be something more during the design phase of the build. READ MORE

1966 Chevy C-10 Pickup Truck. This was built in a retro style to look like a new truck form ‘66 that was mildly hot-rodded. This was a for fun wintertime side project, and became a clean driver-quality truck that grabbed a feature in Classic Trucks Magazine. READ MORE

This 1951 Ford was built in a mild custom style with modern street machine touches. The drip rails, door handles and some trim was shaved, the bumpers flipped, molded in and painted, partial rear belly pan, serious kick-up in both front and rear frames sections to lay down when the Air Ride is deflated.

An important “resto” project for a prominent custom collector. This is a true history custom being built originally by Harry Westergard. It features full fade- a-ways through the doors, ‘48 Caddy rear quarters and a ‘47 Caddy front end. The metal work was still pretty good shape when we got it in. We repaired the body, made it fit way better than they did back when it was first built, better fit and finish. READ MORE

This was a project started by another guy before he was full time. Much fabrication and craftsmanship was handled or roughed in before we got it. Very trick little items like latches and hinges were started by the previous builder, and are of very high quality. The body was also roughed in, and the cab stretch and roof were fabbed upon delivery to our facility. READ MORE

This is a full custom modern project. Chassis is a full twin rail round tube unit, and the body has been channeled over the frame and the floor built by using old Indy Car monocoque tube structure for floor bracing sandwiched with bead rolled sheet metal top and bottom for a super strong and smooth product. The body was cut to the max, using Taurus headlights, the fenders were cut and pie cut till they fit, a one piece front glass and window READ MORE

This was a glass body project built for Carrie, she always wanted a roadster, so bad she cut her long hair off so I would build her one. This started with a Rats Glass body, with rails and crossmember from Alloway. We added a Heidt’s front open-wheel, polished suspension and a new-to-market at the time Heidt’s independent polished rear end. READ MORE

1960 Chevy Brookwood Wagon
This was originally being built for a shop runner for chasing parts… that’s how they start out, but never usually end up that way. We used a full Air Ride system to make it low, and it rolls on 18″ and 20″ Billet Specialties rims, wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber. Dash was reworked for Auto Meter gauges, and Carrie handled the ultra leather interior READ MORE
1932 Ford Roadster
What started out as a quick easy build for the client and went into a crazy huge-motored, one-off creation. Built on a Rats Glass body with longer doors, we had them wedge channel the body, with some taken out at the lower cowl angled to nothing for a cool stance. READ MORE
1953 Buick
This Buick was a quick cruiser build. It featured a super-solid donor car, with a Heidts front suspension, full Air Ride and triangulated four link. Built to sit super low riding on 20″ and 22″ Colorado Custom rims wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber.
Engine is a warmed over 350 Chevy with Flowmaster exhaust and a Painless harness. READ MORE
1954 Chevy
This is the car that made it possible to go into the hot rod biz full time…the first time it was built. Originally done in the
early 90’s as a custom rod pro streeter, I loved customs, street machines and pro streeters so I mixed them all together. It had a chopped and hard-topped roof, with part of a 49 Chevy four door fast back, moved windshield to lower it READ MORE
