of all the cars i've built i enjoyed this one the most .

i clean fiberglass bodies with dawn soap . first cleaning on an oily spot i use straight soap the soap and water. you need an oil dispersant instead of a solvent which will dilute it and soak it in further. the dawn will lift the oil. when dry seal up good with epoxy . i do the same thing...

57 restomod

at 6'6 250 i have to do the work under the dash with the car on the rotisserie . no way can i lay under the dash. i turn the car on it's side and stand up to work on them. steve still has not decided to sell the 57 or keep it. he's having fun showing it right now. if he keeps it he will sell...

all depends on if he keeps the 57 or sells it.

mike , i think the 54 is going to be sold instead of built. he has 2 . one is just a parts car.

interesting . i have a 54 coming up to do . it will be a restomod like the 57 i just finished. it's a pretty rough car though . will get a full surround first thing . i'll be looking for pics of your build. good luck with it .

howdy stan . the car was at the lonestar show at the race track a few weeks ago. took first in it's class although i dont know how many cars were in it. it is a very nice car. i don't get off the farm much these days. trying to finish a 56 210 and build a mile of fence. i've been so busy i've...

superior fiberglass is building 25 copies of the nomad . have not seen one but it is interesting. this will take you to the site. Home

i used a frame from corvette corrections on this 57. car was too far gone to restore. it has turned out really well.

things will come back tom . my first car took for ever to get together. i'm down to my last customer car and just cant decide if i will take in any more or retire and just build my own stuff for a while. i'm definitely done with building streetrods for the public. but i've been playing with...

how's your car coming along ?

i've done other work for steve but this was his first restomod. he usually does restorations. i wasn't too sure on the color at first but i'm painting my 54 ford pu the same color.but he loves it so all is good. the car turned out really well. few issues with the ls1 but otherwise ok. this was a...

well it's been a long road but the 57 is going home today . this has been an interesting build for me. it is the first restomod for me as i usually do restorations or streetrods .

gel coating was big in the 60's and early 70's. at the time there were no products that would hide bodywork . gel coat would do this but after time it would spider web and crack. gel coat is useless without mat . polyesters came along and did a so so job but epoxy has proven to be the best for...

i use nothing but epoxy for surfacing . but beware of the soda. if not totally neutralized it will cause some serious paint failure.

i use only epoxy for surfacing.

like john i have gelcoated older vettes with a lot of damage . in the late 60's it was your only choice other than featherfill . it is truly a pia to do. very time consuming. on the latest one i chose to do it a little different. after all the repairs i used only spi epoxy to resurface with. the...

nice job :thumb i just finished a 62 and now i get to remove the cluster again to replace the speedo . not the end of the world but i'm 6'6 250 . just not enough room under there for me.

no truer words :D i get asked all the time on it. i just clamp stuff up and put it where it suits me. i've built streetrods for the last 25 years . when they built them in the 30' 40's close enough was good enough. just spend a lot of time squaring up .
