1957 Buick - (Completed March 29, 2005. Customer installed exterior trim and interior.) This 1957 Buick came to me needing a variety of new body panels and custom sheet metal fabrication to be done before all of the body work was completed. The entire car was sandblasted first to expose all of the trouble areas. The most difficult area of fabrication was the rear door jam on both doors because of the curvature of the wheel wells. After all metal work and body work was completed the car was given a 2 tone paint job similar to the original color scheme. I am always happy to do any or all stages of restoration and allow the customer to do any part that they would like to on their own. I am also glad to give some advice or pointers when asked.
