The starting point! 

The journey begins with crates and we are excited.

Eric Brockmeyer works with our customer and Joey to produce this rendering. The paint color has not been firmed up yet. 

The body gets set up on the frame for assessment. 

The body needs modifications. 

This hot rod build is one of our new major projects. Our customer wants a long list of one of a kind touches. We are mocking up the body and planning changes to the wheel openings. This is a totally personalized build.

At this stage the engine and transmission get mocked up. 

Mocking up the suspension, brakes and steering. 

Yes-cutting into the frame for needed modifications.

Not much room-tight fit. 

The floor tunnel gets enlarged for the tranmsission. 

Fabrication work for the inner steel skeleton adds needed strength. 

Fabrication of inner structure to add strength continues.

Installing inner skeleton-fully designed and built in house.

The complete skeleton for required strength. 

Fabrication for the gas tank.

Rear suspension.

Exhaust system-3" stainless

Fabrication work includes core support and A/C condensor mounting. 

Chassis on the ground. 

More fabrication work for  mounting the hydraulic suspension and the battery. 

Fabricating rear quarter glass mounting frame. 

Fabricated quarter glass frame.  

The wiring work begins. There are many componemts to be considered for the over all design and layout to make it all work as intented. 

This is a great shot of the front of the car--everything fits tightly. 

Placement of the shifter. 

Fabrication work for support under both running boards. 

The running board supports are installed. 

Hydraulic pump- work includes building a system that permits the car to be lifted two inches. With the flip of a switch there is increased ground clearance. 

The body did not come with any window regulators, tracks, door latches or safety pins that were worth using so we designed and built what was needed. 

Power window mechanism

A very valuable piece of equipment for the many one of a kind parts that must be built for this car. Thanks Tony

Speaking of parts that need to be made!

Checking the ride height.

Modifying the seat mounts.

Dash and console fabrication.

Like many items for this build the shifter base is built from scratch

Built from scratch-plan-design and build.

Wiring expertise is certainly needed with this build. Wiring will be very tidy when finished.
