| Need your classic car or truck painted? When not working on the car shows this is what I do. My preference is complete refinishing on classics from the 60's and 70's, but I've also been known to tackle the antiques. Can do any type of rust repair including floors, torque boxes, et. I'm strictly autobody/refinish oriented. I do not do mechanical work, but can arrange if needed. Rates are $42 per hour. If interested, give me a phone call, or send an email and lets talk about your current project. Joel |

This is the best way to refinish an engine. Sandblast
and epoxy prior to giving to the engine builder. After the
engine work I re-epoxied and did final finish.

The engine in my 69 Mach 1 ready for final paint. This is
how I got it back from the builder. I scuffed it up, lightly
applied a coat of epoxy, and refinished. Was previously
sandblasted and epoxied like the flat head to the right.

Here's a shot of the above engine bay in 2007. Got a
great deal on rebuild when the car was done and ended
up burning a quart of oil every tank of gas. Engine was
pulled and completely redone by CSR Motorsports in
2007...not the original builder.

The first thing I did in 2003 after returning to MI
was refinish the engine bay in my 65. Turned out
good enough I decided to repaint the car. This
engine was painted in the car. Not optimum...but
can be done.

redid the interior.
