Thanks. I still can't believe this place! This is a real one stop place for classic, customs and hot rods. They do everything---build chassis, swap chassis, pull bodies off and put them on new chassis, engine swaps, electrical, A/C etc.

I am to keep all the cars clean and to detail each one before returning them to owners.

And super, super great people too!

Grin.. we just kicked out a couple of standard classic Olds about 2 or 3 weeks ago!

There is one coming at anytime now. A 1964 Super 88!

And I am suppose to do complete detail, paint, interior and engine. This car will become the company car to pick up and drop off customers.

Glad you mentioned it. Forgot about this one.

This car will get the "Mike Phillips Meg #7 treatment."
