Trail Blazing

DSCF7136 DSCF7138 DSCF7139This Trail Blazer SS came by late today to get an estimate on a dent in the quarter panel. The price was right so the owner went ahead and left to get repaired. We got started on it right away. When we removed the tail lamp we noticed that one of the plugs that helps hold the light in was missing. While Chris go to work fixing the dent, I got on the horn and ordered one up. No sense in not getting one and fixing it right while its out. Thats just what we do here. The dent was repaired and primed today before we left. The new plug will be in on Monday. It will be painted first thing Monday and back to the owner by Tuesday.

Civic duty

DSCF7141This is the Civic from earlier in the week. We got it back from the frame shop yesterday and Chis did an awesome job at repairing the trunk. Monday we will prep the trunk and the new rear bumper for paint. This one will be back on the road in no time.

Mustang Sally

DSCF7128 DSCF7129 DSCF7133 DSCF7132 DSCF7135 DSCF7134This Mustang is in the shop to get the roof stripes painted on. For some reason, the roof stripes were not painted like the hood and trunk stripes, they are vinyl decals. Over the years vinyl breaks down from the suns UV rays. The owner bought the car like this but first thing on the list was to correct the roof. The front chin spoiler had also had some road rash scars that he wanted to fix as well. He came to the right place. We started by removing the old stripes. A heat gun, finger nails and time. We had to heat up the vinyl, pick at it to get a piece to it started and do our best to peel it up in pieces as big as  possible. It took some time but we did get it. Next step was to mask it all up and paint them on. Once they were painted, we unmasked the stripes then laid down 2 coats of clear. Monday we will put it back together and get it back to its owner.
