This 1965 Thunderbird is the product of many long and hard hours of work while working with Chip Foose on the TV series 'Overhaulin'.

I did a complete restoration on this 65 convertible for a local customer. This car won several local car show awards. Painted an unusual rose color as requested by the customer.

I did a complete and full restoration on this 63 convertible. Restored for the original owner to factory specifications with some minor changes such as a cloth top and 6 disk CD player.

A 63 convertible purchased locally and restored with Sports Roadster options and added factory air conditioning. Sold to a customer in Florida.

Another car I purchased locally and restored. This car was sold to TV/radio personality Tom Snyder.
