March 22, 2022 Update The start of 2022 came on like a rocket and we are just now able to catch up with you all! We’re going to try out a new blog feature to keep it all neat and tidy. Our service bays are overflowing with various projects, so much so that we had to get a storage facility to house the excess projects that are waiting in the wings or are waiting for parts. We brought in a new mechanic who’s a native from The Dalles and just moved back to town, which has helped relieve some of the workload from our regular mechanics. Here is where…
1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside
The 1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside was completed in July of 2017. It was a complete frame-off restoration from top to bottom. The original cab was rusted out in the bottom corners and the bed was also rusted and bent, so a completely new cab and bed we purchased. The engine, driveline, and frame are original to the truck, and have been overhauled. The chrome decals and trim are also original to the truck, as well as the rear bumper and back glass. On the inside new upholstery, true to the original, was installed. For the exterior, new paint was sprayed in the original factory colors.

1952 Dodge B3-C Pickup Truck
Big Red, as I called this 1952 Dodge B3-C pickup truck, was a truck that needed to be shown some old fashioned TLC when he arrived at the shop in the early summer of 2020. We started with removing all of the glass, and removing body panels, fenders, hood and tailgate to get at the sections better for sanding. We noticed that the doors had a lot of small dimpling, which needed to be filled and sanded to become smooth and flush with the rest of the door. After a lot of man hours doing prep work on the body and bed, we were able to get a good couple…
