There’s no doubt dad will be pretty excited to see the car he’s had for 41 years look new again. Likewise, we are excited to help make this dream a reality. So far we’ve stripped it down, media blasted, primed, done some metal work and more. Look forward to more pics as it comes along…

Starting with the relocation of our office into the new area, we will follow with departmentalizing the shop to separate blasting and bodywork from sheet metal, mechanical and finish-out.

Our goal is to optimize workflow and provide better service to our customers. Having two divisions will create better efficiency in terms of moving things around, but it will also allow us to operate at full speed without worry of bodywork fallout interfering with clean processes like fabrication. Time is money – so saving one saves the other!

NTC is also now able to offer regular maintenance such as oil changes and check-ups, with an air-conditioned waiting area for customers to escape the Texas heat and shop noise. We welcome you to stop by and check out the changes; sign up for our new services or help fill in the new space with your project!

Topped off with a shiny Tweety Yellow coat, she’s ready for summer.

Tom had high expectations on his second go-round and we worked hard to deliver. Using our PPG mixing system we were able to rectify a missed color match and really make the true blue poly shine. Every square inch was re-blocked to show-quality perfection. We were happy to see the kick in his step when Tom came to take her home at last. Thanks once again to Firewheel Classics, the only Camaro parts source, and Rich’s Performance Muffler for a beautiful mandrel-formed new exhaust.

*UPDATE: Winner of awards at the 2009 Dallas Autorama, 2009 Super Chevy Show and more! She will be showing all season so we will keep you posted.*

Roof grafting, media blasting, mechanical overhaul, floorpans, and a high gloss two-tone paint job breathed new life into a tired camo-painted work truck.
