  • They're still out there!

    This was dropped off today at work. It's my next project. Been sitting in a garage at a run down house in town.





    It doesn't seem to be in bad shape. It's a 283 2bbl with a powerglide, although it does have a three on the tree column and pedals in place.

      It's amazing that some of those 200k Barret-Jackson cars started out like that.
      Just groovin' to my own tune.

          That's nice!

          A friend found a 210 hardtop 57 recently, had a lot of work done on it about 30 yrs ago and the owner was killed, his mom finally let it go. I hope to work on it this spring some time

                    Hell, we're cheap compared to the boys in CT or MA. This one is going to be a driver, and he's looking at 75-85K to get it there.

                      We just finished this MG TC.


                      This is a '58 Morgan that I've been working on lately. All new wood and steel body made by us in house.


                      Yeller with a '59 MGA in tow. I finished this one up and delivered it last week while the roads were decent.

                          It is going to be a stock restoration, but I think anywhere we can make upgrades will be acceptable, TH350, dual resevoir m/c, etc. I checked it before I left work and the engine is stuck, but he has another early 283 that runs I can rebuild. It's my understanding these do not have numbers so matching numbers is not possible, only date codes.

                              There's a yellow 57 Nomad that makes the rounds at the northeast shows that has a nice patina too. Doesn't look as cool as that one with Radirs and wide whites though.
