1969 Plymouth Roadrunner: Muscle Car Restoration

jonh — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:53:07 +0000

We love doing muscle car restorations. This one is a rare 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 383 and a 4 speed. Our client has owned this car since it was new and him and wife drove it on a daily basis. Every restorations is unique. For some we are only restoring mechanical systems, or only restoring the interior or paint. For this restoration we are going the whole way.

The first step of this restoration is the body and and paint. For this Mike started out with complete disassembly of the vehicle. Removing all trim, bumpers, lights, glass, door, weatherstripping, etc. We do this to make sure that our client gets a very complete paint job and we miss no area. After that Mike stripped the paint off the vehicle and went to bare metal. This assures that there is no hidden rust in the vehicle that could pop up later. Once the vehicle was to bare metal Mike cut out any rusted areas and replaced it with good metal. After that we etched and sealed the vehicle. Finally we are using skim coats of fiberglass filler around the vehicle to smooth our repairs out.

We are also mechanically restoring this car. A rebuilt engine and transmission. Rewiring the vehicle. Installing new steering suspension and brakes. New fuel lines, brake lines, etc..

Once the vehicle is painting back to the original color, using our house brand of Spies Hecker paint we will install a fresh new interior and assemble the body.

Today we are at the stage of working on the final areas of smoothing out the body.

-Replacing the water pump
-Replacing the motor mounts
-Replacing the clutch slave cylinder
- Resealing the transmission and rear end
- Replacing all the brake components front and back

1958 Jeep Willys CJ5: Classic Car Restoration

jonh — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:08:40 +0000

The Willys CJ-5 design was influenced by owner, Kaiser, and the Korean War M38A1 Jeep. It was intended to replace the CJ-3B, but that model continued in production. The CJ-5 repeated this pattern, continuing in production for three decades while three newer models appeared. “The CJ-5 has the distinct honor of being a vehicle that was hard to kill off… equaling the longest production run of note. A total of 603,303 CJ-5s were produced between 1954 and 1983.

We are restoring this Willys to the original military specifications that it came in. With original OS flat green paint, all NOS equipment and a new steel body. We received this Jeep from a lady who’s husband and his friend had been working on restoring it for several years. Due to some unfortunity circumstances the project was not able to be completed. The vehicle has a lot of sentimental value to the family who plans to pass it down to the daughters. When we got the vehicle most of the major mechanical systems like the engine, tranny, brakes and suspension had already been rebuilt. It was in pieces though and missing the body.

Our fist step was to finish assembling the mechanical systems on the frame. Next we bought a new metal body and paint the floor and undercoat the vehicle. Now that the body is bolted back on the frame Bryan is working on assembling the steering, suspension and installing the wiring harness. Bryan has also been working on repairing and painting the heater box.

1969 Chevy Camaro: Hot Rod Fabrication

jonh — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:54:41 +0000

Even though classic car restoration is one of the main areas that Precision Restorations specializes in, hot rod fabrication is also something that we are very skilled in, and love doing. When working with a hot rod you are dealing with a client that is very passionate about his vehicle and wants to make it his own.

For this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Precision Restorations is installing an upgraded suspension system in the front and back. We only use the highest grade of parts for our clients and this vehicle is no exception. For the front of the vehicle we installed Global West upper and lower tubular control arms and QA1 coilover shocks. This will stiffen up the front of the vehicle and give the Camaro much better control around corners and at high speeds. For the rear of the vehicle we chose a Martz custom built 4 link and a narrowed 12 bolt rear end. These upgrades will allow the client to fit a 275 tire in the rear of the vehicle. At this point the narrowed rear end is back up under the vehicle and painted and the rear four link suspension is nearly set up

1963 Lincoln Continental: Classic Car Restoration

jonh — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:39:44 +0000

A classic car restoration is whatever our clients desire. Some clients like to take classics, like this 1963 Lincoln Continental and make them even better. When our client shipped this Lincoln to us, it was in pretty good shape, what a lot of people would call a “20 footer”. But our client wanted it to be better, and he demands perfection, with any project that he undergoes. That is where we come in. We started off by disassembling the vehicle and then stripping it down to bare metal, to make sure that we had good metal to work with and that no flaw would be left uncovered. Next we repaired any body imperfections and primed the entire vehicle. Our painter took his time block sanding the body and then repriming, guaranteeing laser straight panels. Even though the vehicle is painted and cleared, we will block sand one more time with 600 grit and re-clear. Finally Dan will wet sand and buff the paint to give it that ten miles deep look. When the car does go back together it will really shine because every piece of stainless and chrome has been restored. This car was a ton to drive in its day, with a big 462 cu in engine and a 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic, but we can always make it better. Mechanical upgrades come in the form of throttle body fuel injection, air ride suspension and big disk brakes. And since you spend all your time in the car we do not want to short change that area. We will be making custom two tone leather seats and door panels with a black cloth convertible top.

In the pictures below you can see The new covers coming together for the front and rear seats.

1968 Checker Marathon

jonh — Wed, 02 May 2012 19:18:09 +0000

Now here is a car that you don’t get to see every day, a 1968 Checker Marathon Cab. From my clients research he believes that there was only about 1000 of these vehicles produced in 1968. And our client would know, he is a Checker fanatic and owns several other years besides this one. Now the body of this vehicle is unique to this model and year, but for the most part the mechanical systems of this vehicle are standard Chevrolet. Powered by a 350 small block and a turbo 350 transmission.

Now when this vehicle came in to us it was in rough shape. The body was rotten, the interior was deteriorating and pretty much every mechanical system needed rebuilding. Actually the door post of this vehicle were filled with insulation as a form of repair. To this point we have rebuilt almost the entire body with the help of 4 used door post. We have put almost 400 hours into the body restoration portion of this build. We have also rebuilt the engine and tranny, added an edelbrock intake and carburetor and in the pictures below we are rebuilding the front end suspension and steering systems.

1967 Dodge Charger

jonh — Wed, 02 May 2012 18:42:36 +0000

It is an honor to have such a rare classic car, such as this 1967 Dodge Charger in our shop. Only about 15,000 Chargers were made in ’67 and not near that amount has survived. We are glad that we have the opportunity to bring this classic back to life. When our client brought us this vehicle it was a shell of a car and about 15 boxes of parts. Initally the client had tried to keep the cost of this restoration down by going with several smaller shops that would work on seperate areas of the vehicle. What this resulted in was a 5 year build, with little progress and lots of lost parts. Over the last 6 months we have tracked down all the missing pieces of this vehicle, repainted it, polished all the trim and restored the interior.

The vehicle is now really coming together and we are down to a few of the final items such as custom floor mats that have the Charger logo embroidered on them. We expect this vehicle to be back on the road within the next month.

In the pictures below you can see where the old top has been removed in preparation for the new cloth top. We have also started to cut out all the patterns in the black leather that will be needed for the seats. There is also a picture of one of the pieces of restored stainless.
