All repairs and work are done to insure that our cars look, run and drive just as if they had come off the factory line. We use a rotisserie for complete body metal restoration for the installation of floor pans, battery box and b-pillar repair is done while enabling access to difficult to reach areas.
Lead is then used in the same areas as the factory applied on the seams and where panels have been replaced. Engines are disassembled and determined the extent of rebuild necessary. After rebuild, engines are placed on an engine run stand and started and run to sort out engine timing, carburetor adjustment and to secure/ tighten all oil line connections.

Customer brought this 1965 Mustang that belonged to his dad's and then to him when he was in high school. This car has a lot of wonderful memories and now his daughter wants to drive it, (three generations). At some point in time the car stopped running, could not find anybody that could work on the car until now.
1966 Lotus 41
Report
Work performed: Our diagnosis is that the cylinders were "gas washed", meaning that the piston rings had lost their "bite" on the cylinder walls due to flooding the engine while trying to start it. When we performed a leak down test we found that air was escaping past rings and exiting through the 3 small holes in the oil sump vent cap.
