Thework
Real cars, photographed on our floor in Santee. Candy paint, hand-laid graphics, full restorations and one truck caught halfway through the booth.
Finished body, full side profile.
01
1941 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery
Candy teal metallic · custom mural
A full-length candy teal metallic finish with depth you can fall into. The side panel carries a hand-laid olive tree mural, its trunk rendered in bright metal leaf against the color. Panel gaps tight, glass trim polished, the whole body reading as one continuous surface.
Side profile — stripe line and body work.
02
1970 Chevelle SS
Red over white · stripes and vinyl top
Red laid over a white vinyl roof with twin dorsal stripes running the length of the car. Cowl induction hood, SS badging, chrome bumpers and trim throughout, red interior. A clean, period-correct muscle car presentation.
Profile in the yard.
03
1968 Buick Riviera
Deep midnight blue · full chrome
A deep midnight blue that goes almost black in shadow and lights up under sun. Wire wheels with whitewalls, every piece of brightwork on the car polished and reset. Long, unbroken body lines with nothing to distract from them.
Front three-quarter, finished.
04
1956 Chevrolet 3100
Candy blue · chrome and painted bed
Candy blue over a fully finished body, bed included — floor, sides, and inner panels all carrying the same paint. Chrome five-spoke wheels, restored grille and bumpers, brightwork down the beltline. A truck built to be looked at from every angle.
Side profile in the yard.
05
1966 Impala Super Sport
Candy maroon metallic · white interior
A candy maroon metallic with heavy flake that shifts red to burgundy as you walk around it. White interior, Super Sport badging, chrome five-spokes, full trim restored and refitted. Straight panels and a finish with no shortcuts in it.
Nose and hood, masking still on the windshield posts.
06
1966 Corvette Sting Ray
In the booth · fresh paint
Caught partway through the process. Fresh red laid down, masking still on the cowl and windshield posts, door off and on the stand. This is what the middle of a paint job actually looks like before anything gets reassembled.
Bring us the car. We will tell you straight what it needs.
Finished — full side profile out front.
07
1969 Chevrolet C10
Candy red · start to finish
The clearest before-and-after in the shop. Front clip pulled and the core support bare, then the same truck back together with everything hung, aligned, and glossed. Bed floor, inner panels, and cab all finished in the same candy red.
Full profile, top up.
08
1953 Chevrolet Bel Air
Sage green metallic · tan top
A soft sage green metallic with a tan convertible top and matching interior. Wide whitewalls, gold-accent wheel covers, and a full front-end chrome package — grille teeth, bumper, and guards all polished. Restrained and correct rather than loud.
Front three-quarter — flame layout across the nose.
09
1934 Ford Three-Window Coupe
Traditional flames · gold pinstripe
Red on red flames laid over the base coat and outlined in fine gold pinstripe, running from the nose through the doors. Louvered hood side panels, chrome five-spokes, whitewalls. Hand-laid graphics — the kind of work that only shows its quality up close.
Side profile in the shop yard.
10
1971 Camaro Z/28
Lime green · black stripes
Lime green with black hood and deck stripes, Z/28 badging front and flank. Rally wheels on raised-white-letter radials, chrome bumperettes, front spoiler. Long fastback roofline finished clean end to end.
Side profile.
11
1965 Chevrolet C10 4x4
Candy copper · show truck
Candy copper over a lifted four-wheel-drive chassis, white shell on the back, blacked-out wheels on all-terrains. The bed is finished wood with polished strips over color-matched inner panels, and the engine bay is dressed to be opened. Shown on the floor at a hot rod show.
