Usually too Busy

With the fab shop shut down for the holiday it is a good time to share a glimpse of what we are doing in there. Media blasting, powder coating, metal forming, and welding all happen in this room. We stock around fifty colors of powder and will do from a single part for a walk-in customer to supply production parts for machine shops and manufacturers.

The Jaguar V12

175 CD-2 Stromberg Carburetors will usually be finicky especially when your engine has four of them. Although this Jaguar ran pretty good it was leaking fuel, oil and leaving its aroma on the passengers after a drive. The leaking fuel had stained the jaguars front frame members which needed a repaint and general cleanup. With everything polished, cleaned and rebuilt the passengers can enjoy the smells of the scenery and not of the car.

Before: 1976 Jensen Interceptor

This is a true British MOPAR muscle car. Powered by the Chrysler 440 cubic inch V8 the Interceptor was a great GT car of its day. So popular is this car that an Interceptor had a lead role in the Fast and Furious 6 movie. A company in England will even sell you a new one completely rebuilt with modern equipment.

1973 Triumph Stag

It was exciting to have a Triumph Stag in the shop. Even surprising to other owners who have called up inquiring about having us work on one and hearing that we had one here. This car hasn’t been running for an extended time and fought back stubbornly with more problems after each repair. The Stag has such a great sound from its rare Triumph V8 that I hate to see it leave.
