Out with the old, in with the new! Follow along with us on the next project!

The beloved Mopar, AKA Baba Yaga, got freshened up with a color matched hood this weekend!

Another satisfied customer. Put new life back in an old BBQ. New 10 ga. Steel floor welded to the bottom for catering use.

Remember Blair’s truck refresh project…. Well, get this.
While the truck has been on the road now for about two years, it never felt quite right. Scott bought an endoscope to check out the innards and turns out there was a broken piston ring in Cylinder 4 from the start in this brand new GM 350 Crate Motor.
It was a long road, but GM did honor the warranty. The 265hp GM 350 has been discontinued, so whereas they would usually swap out the engine for you, they let him keep the motor and wrote a check for the full purchase price. Huge shoutout to Gary in the parts dept. of the Arroyo Grande Chevrolet Dealer to fight for us little guys.
It seems like there’s always something like this with every old vehicle project. That’s why you don’t see them on the road very much. These old funky machines make you work for it, but man it feels good when you’re going down the road.
